If you are using a custom session handler by means of session_set_save_handler() - the last arg to the function is the gc() function, which is the actuall function that is used to clean up the expired sessions from the database. You would set the value in your php ini file unser the session gc directive from 0 - 100. If you set it to 0, the gc will never run and the expired sessions will hange around, if you set it to 100, the gc will run every time the session engine starts up ( every call to session_start() ). ~ Joe Penn "Allens" <ateam3@mac.com> wrote in message D8D1E34A-BEDC-11D7-8C1F-0003934CA606@mac.com">news:D8D1E34A-BEDC-11D7-8C1F-0003934CA606@mac.com... > Hello, > A question on cleanup? > example: > 1.
