Well, this is still happening. I left my mail up at home over night and had no problems, so I assume that it is a loss of connections over the network or something. I have not really noticed any connection losses, so maybe they are just split seconds, and happen to be when PHP is doing its thing. I just want to make sure that I understand what I read. I should be able to up the session.gc_maxlifetime to something like 43200 (12 hours), and that would probably take care of the problem even if I have some connection losses in my network somewhere?
