why ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime',60) doesn't work?
garbage-collection, ini-set, php, session
Solution
Because garbage collector starts (if starts) before session
So setting `ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime',60);` after `session_start()` changes nothing
Problem
the default expire time of session is 1440,i want to reduce this time to 60 second,but when i use `ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime','60')` in the first page it work,but it doesn't work in an other page, please tell me what is my wrong? ``` ----------index.php----------- <?php ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime','60'); session_start(); $_SESSION['id']='123'; print('<br/><a href="link.php">link<a/>'); ?> ----------link.php---------- <?php session_start(); if(isset($_SESSION['id'])){ ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime',60); }else{ header('Location:index.php?ERROR'); } print('<br/><a href="link.php?1">menu<a/>'); ?> ```
