Actually PHP has a "garbage collector" that periodically it "cleans" deletes all those old session files. I believe you can set the time it cleans these files up in the php.ini file. Now that you know where to look a search should be able to answer this question more fully than I can and with more guidelines on how to regulate it. I hope this helps!
Rick I remember a man of some standing who once came to see me and told me that a friend of his who claimed no small spiritual achievements had offended him; "Who should go and make his peace with the other?" he asked. "I can not answer your question," I replied, "as I cannot possibly set myself as a judge between you, but one thing is certain to me; the meanest of the two of you will wait for the other to make the move." The great man said no word, but went forthwith to make his peace with his friend. - Unknown > From: Neil Freeman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Tue, 22 Jan 2002 11:08:23 +0000 > To: PHP-General <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [PHP] Session deletion on window close? > > OK I'll have a look around.
