This is strange. I just changed the local value of session.gc.maxlifetime from 1400 to 12345 with ini_set.
ini_set("session.gc_maxlifetime",12345); ini_set("register_globals",1); register_globals continues to remain "Off". (ps, I tried passing "on" and "On" and "1" as arguments, none work). Is there another security setting I'm overlooking? > -----Original Message----- > From: Stembridge, Michael > Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2003 8:11 AM > To: Stembridge, Michael; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [PHP-INST] php.ini changes not taking > > > I'm not sure if my question was worded vaguely or if this is > one of the mysteries of the great uknown.
