i do not really experience this problem.. i can click through the links easily.. hmm.. your question sets me thinking.. do you think it has to do with some VPN thing? my system is an intranet system and the users log on to it through a VPN.. do you think it will cut my sessions?! by the way, I saw this note on php.net under the gc_maxlifetime section: Note: If you are using the default file-based session handler, your filesystem must keep track of access times (atime). Windows FAT does not so you will have to come up with another way to handle garbage collecting your session if you are stuck with a FAT filesystem or any other fs where atime tracking is not available. Since PHP 4.2.3 it has used mtime (modified date) instead of atime. So, you won't have problems with filesystems where atime tracking is not available. do you think by upgrading it will solve all my problems?! thanx a million!! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Torsten Roehr" <roehr@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <php-db@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, May 31, 2004 6:19 PM Subject: Re: Re: $_Session vs $_Cookie > "Ng Hwee Hwee" <hhwee@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote in message > news:005201c446f7$848fcea0$7a01a8c0@xxxxxxxxxxx > > 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! > > You're right, the session should at least be active for the specified > gc_maxlifetime - no matter if the users click a link or not.
