Description:
------------
Just upgraded PHP from 5.2.6 to 5.3.2. I have my session.gc_maxlifetime set to 3 hours, so:

session.gc_maxlifetime = 10800

This worked in 5.2.6, verified in phpinfo(), but now when I go into phpinfo() in 5.3.2 it is the default value of 1440. I have gone into the /etc/php.ini and confirmed that session.gc_maxlifetime is indeed still set to 10800.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
    phpinfo();
?>

Not reproducible. Please check that you load the correct php.ini.

PROBLEM FOUND. I had a single typo 's' before the opening of the php configuration file, leading to the entire config file not being loaded. I feel silly and stupid. Thanks.
