[pmwiki-users] short sessions

[Radu]

php docs say that garbage collection stops working when the depth of the 
session path is higher than 0:
There is an optional N argument to this directive that determines the 
number of directory levels your session files will be spread around in. For 
example, setting to '5;/tmp' may end up creating a session file and 
location like /tmp/4/b/1/e/3/sess_4b1e384ad74619bd212e236e52a5a174If . In 
order to use N you must create all of these directories before use. A small 
shell script exists in ext/session to do this, it's called mod_files.sh. 
Also note that if N is used and greater than 0 then automatic garbage 
collection will not be performed, see a copy of php.ini for further 
information.
