MySQL doesn't have cached variables. Neither does PHP, really. Session files are cleaned up based upon a php.ini setting, session.gc_maxlifetime, I think. Variables are destroyed when the script ends. Now, if you're storing your sessions in MySQL, then you must implement your own clean up. ---John Holmes... -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
