The value for gc_maxlifetime specifies after how long php sees stored session data as garbage. This is not correct behaviour. Example:

Say, I have set gc_maxlifetime to 24 minutes. I start using an application that stores something in the session. I continue working for the next 24 minutes. Suddenly, the earliest session data (stored 24 minutes ago, but still used!) will be seen as garbage and disappears, rendering the application useless.

It should only see the session data if the session is not used for gc_maxlifetime seconds. If I keep using the application, the session data should not be thrown away.

(current workaround is to set gc_maxlifetime to something big, but that's not the correct solution in my opinion)

What is your save handler? "files" or "user" or else?
 [2002-02-21 04:01 UTC] ivo at ibuildings dot nl 
The default (files).

I need to take a look at code...
But before I do that, could you verify if this problem exists in CVS version?
