- The session management system supports a number of configuration
- options which you can place in your &php.ini; file. We will give a
- short overview.
-
-
-
- session.save_handler defines the name of the
- handler which is used for storing and retrieving data
- associated with a session. Defaults to
- files.
-
-
-
-
- session.save_path defines the argument which
- is passed to the save handler. If you choose the default files
- handler, this is the path where the files are created.
- Defaults to /tmp. If
- session.save_path's path depth is more than
- 2, garbage collection will not be performed.
-
-
-
- If you leave this set to a world-readable directory, such as
- /tmp (the default), other users on the
- server may be able to hijack sessions by getting the list of
- files in that directory.
-
-
-
-
-
- session.name specifies the name of the
- session which is used as cookie name. It should only contain
- alphanumeric characters. Defaults to
- PHPSESSID.
-
-
-
-
- session.auto_start specifies whether the
- session module starts a session automatically on request
- startup. Defaults to 0 (disabled).
-
-
-
-
- session.cookie_lifetime specifies the lifetime of
- the cookie in seconds which is sent to the browser. The value 0
- means "until the browser is closed." Defaults to
- 0.
-
-
-
-
- session.serialize_handler defines the name
- of the handler which is used to serialize/deserialize
- data. Currently, a PHP internal format (name
- php) and WDDX is supported (name
- wddx). WDDX is only available, if PHP is
- compiled with WDDX
- support. Defaults to php.
-
-
-
-
- session.gc_probability specifies the
- probability that the gc (garbage collection) routine is started
- on each request in percent. Defaults to 1.
-
-
-
-
- session.gc_maxlifetime specifies the number
- of seconds after which data will be seen as 'garbage' and
- cleaned up.
-
-
- If you are using the default file-based session handler, your
- filesystem must keep track of access times (atime). Windows FAT does
- not so you will have to come up with another way to handle garbage
- collecting your session if you are stuck with a FAT filesystem or any
- other fs where atime tracking is not available.
-
-
-
-
-
- session.referer_check contains the
- substring you want to check each HTTP Referer for. If the
- Referer was sent by the client and the substring was not
- found, the embedded session id will be marked as invalid.
- Defaults to the empty string.
-
-
-
-
- session.entropy_file gives a path to an
- external resource (file) which will be used as an additional
- entropy source in the session id creation process. Examples are
- /dev/random or
- /dev/urandom which are available on many
- Unix systems.
-
-
-
-
- session.entropy_length specifies the number
- of bytes which will be read from the file specified
- above. Defaults to 0 (disabled).
-
-
-
-
- session.use_cookies specifies whether the
- module will use cookies to store the session id on the client
- side. Defaults to 1 (enabled).
-
-
-
-
- session.use_only_cookies specifies whether
- the module will only use
- cookies to store the session id on the client side. Defaults
- to 0 (disabled, for backward compatibility).
- Enabling this setting prevents attacks involved passing session
- ids in URLs. This setting was added in PHP
- 4.3.0.
-
-
-
-
- session.cookie_path specifies path to set
- in session_cookie. Defaults to /.
-
-
-
-
- session.cookie_domain specifies domain to
- set in session_cookie. Default is none at all.
-
-
-
-
- session.cache_limiter specifies cache
- control method to use for session pages
- (none/nocache/private/private_no_expire/public). Defaults to
- nocache.
-
-
-
-
- session.cache_expire specifies time-to-live
- for cached session pages in minutes, this has no effect for
- nocache limiter. Defaults to 180.
-
-
-
-
- session.use_trans_sid whether transparent
- sid support is enabled or not. Defaults to
- 0 (disabled).
-
-
-
- For PHP 4.1.2 or less, it is enabled by compiling with
-
- --enable-trans-sid.
- From PHP 4.2.0, trans-sid feature is always compiled.
-
-
- URL based session management has additional security risks
- compared to cookie based session management. Users may send
- an URL that contains an active session ID to their friends by
- email or users may save an URL that contains a session ID to
- their bookmarks and access your site with the same session ID
- always, for example.
-
-
-
-
-
- url_rewriter.tags spefifies which html tags
- are rewritten to include session id if transparent sid support
- is enabled. Defaults to
- a=href,area=href,frame=src,input=src,form=fakeentry

- The track_vars and

If you leave this set to a world-readable directory, such as

Windows users have to change this variable in order to use PHP's
session functions.
session.name specifies the name of the
session which is used as cookie name. It should only contain
alphanumeric characters. Defaults to
PHPSESSID.
session.auto_start specifies whether the
