I just noticed that my sessions directory was full with hundred-thousands of session files  . It was even not possible to clean the directory with rm *. Luckily midnight commander did the trick. You might want to add a function to delete the session files after the session timed out

I don't have that many session files in my session folder?
And all of mine are dated today so old ones here are going away.
Something odd to look into.

Interesting. If it helps the server is running the lastest PHP version (currently 5.2.0, 5.1.6 before) as FastCGI under LightTPDThe directory is still filling up with sessions: bouncer:/var/webs/philipp# cd sessions
bouncer:/var/webs/philipp/sessions# find . | wc -l
3605
bouncer:/var/webs/philipp/sessions#

Mine are also all created today, couple hundred of them...
i'm pretty sure they get purged automagically when the session no longer exists.

This is handled natively by PHP, at least it's supposed to be. There is a setting in php.ini that designates how stale they need to be before they are cleared. Not back at home yet, so I can't actually check on the exact setting.

Thanks, I found the problem. It is related to the Debian PHP5 package, which handle session garbage collection different than other Linux distributions. From the php.ini: ; This is disabled in the Debian packages, due to the strict permissions
; on /var/lib/php5. Instead of setting this here, see the cronjob at
; /etc/cron.d/php5, which uses the session.gc_maxlifetime setting below
;session.gc_probability = 0
session.gc_divisor = 100 I replaced: ;session.gc_probability = 0 with: session.gc_probability = 1 and the sessions gets now automatically cleared

If your host allows you to, you can set these in a .htaccess file when you don't have access to edit the php.ini (although I'm unsure as to what level of permissions you'd need to override this setting) .htaccess code: session.gc_probability 1 1
session.gc_divisor 1000 1000 To check if this actually works wiht the security level they allow you (I use AllowOverride ALL in my php.ini for my sites so i can override settings as needed) you'll need to open a phpinfo script to check. phpinfo.php:
