hi.. the situation is like this: my clients' $_SESSION gets destroyed even after only a few seconds of inactivity! so, with my current setting for gc_maxlifetime (1440), it should be more than enough to have their sessions registered for the few minutes, right? thus, i deduce that the solution may not lie in my gc_maxlifetime value?? please correct me if I'm wrong! thanx thanx! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Torsten Roehr" <roehr@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <php-db@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, May 31, 2004 5:33 PM Subject: Re: $_Session vs $_Cookie > "Ng Hwee Hwee" <hhwee@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote in message > news:002301c446ee$d1160ae0$7a01a8c0@xxxxxxxxxxx > > Hi all, > > fyi, i'm using PHP4.2.2 and my session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440 and > > session.gc_probability = 1.
