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.
<variablelist>
<varlistentry xml:id="ini.session.save-handler">
<term>
<parameter>session.save_handler</parameter>
<type>string</type>
</term>
<listitem>
<simpara>
<literal>session.save_handler</literal> defines the name of the
handler which is used for storing and retrieving data
associated with a session. Defaults to
<literal>files</literal>. Note that individual extensions may register
their own <literal>save_handler</literal>s; registered handlers can be
obtained on a per-installation basis by referring to
<function>phpinfo</function>. See also
<function>session_set_save_handler</function>.
</simpara>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry xml:id="ini.session.save-path">
<term>
<parameter>session.save_path</parameter>
<type>string</type>
</term>
<listitem>
<simpara>
<literal>session.save_path</literal> 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. See also
<function>session_save_path</function>.
</simpara>
<para>
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 <literal>'5;/tmp'</literal>
may end up creating a session file and location like
<literal>/tmp/4/b/1/e/3/sess_4b1e384ad74619bd212e236e52a5a174If
</literal>. In order to use N you must create all of these
directories before use. A small shell script exists in
<filename>ext/session</filename> to do this, it's called
<filename>mod_files.sh</filename>, with a Windows version called
<filename>mod_files.bat</filename>. 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. Also, if you use N, be sure to surround
<literal>session.save_path</literal> in
"quotes" because the separator (<literal>;</literal>) is
also used for comments in &php.ini;.
</para>
<warning>
<para>
If you leave this set to a world-readable directory, such as
<filename>/tmp</filename> (the default), other users on the
server may be able to hijack sessions by getting the list of
files in that directory.
</para>
</warning>
<note>
<simpara>
Prior to PHP 4.3.6, Windows users had to change this variable in order
to use PHP's session functions. A valid path must be specified, e.g.:
<filename>c:/temp</filename>.
</simpara>
</note>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry xml:id="ini.session.name">
<term>
<parameter>session.name</parameter>
<type>string</type>
</term>
<listitem>
<simpara>
<literal>session.name</literal> specifies the name of the
session which is used as cookie name. It should only contain
alphanumeric characters. Defaults to <literal>PHPSESSID</literal>.
See also <function>session_name</function>.
</simpara>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry xml:id="ini.session.auto-start">
<term>
<parameter>session.auto_start</parameter>
<type>boolean</type>
</term>
<listitem>
<simpara>
<literal>session.auto_start</literal> specifies whether the
session module starts a session automatically on request
startup. Defaults to <literal>0</literal> (disabled).
</simpara>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry xml:id="ini.session.serialize-handler">
<term>
<parameter>session.serialize_handler</parameter>
<type>string</type>
</term>
<listitem>
<simpara>
<literal>session.serialize_handler</literal> defines the name
of the handler which is used to serialize/deserialize
data. Currently, a PHP internal format (name <literal>php</literal> or
<literal>php_binary</literal>) and WDDX are supported (name
<literal>wddx</literal>). WDDX is only available, if PHP is
compiled with <link linkend="ref.wddx">WDDX
support</link>. Defaults to <literal>php</literal>.
</simpara>

<varlistentry xml:id="ini.session.gc-probability">
<term>
<parameter>session.gc_probability</parameter>
<type>integer</type>
</term>
<listitem>
<simpara>
<literal>session.gc_probability</literal> in conjunction with
<literal>session.gc_divisor</literal> is used to manage probability
that the gc (garbage collection) routine is started.
Defaults to <literal>1</literal>. See <link
linkend="ini.session.gc-divisor">session.gc_divisor</link> for details.
</simpara>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry xml:id="ini.session.gc-divisor">
<term>
<parameter>session.gc_divisor</parameter>
<type>integer</type>
</term>
<listitem>
<simpara>
<literal>session.gc_divisor</literal> coupled with
<literal>session.gc_probability</literal> defines the probability
that the gc (garbage collection) process is started on every session
initialization.
The probability is calculated by using gc_probability/gc_divisor,
e.g. 1/100 means there is a 1% chance that the GC process starts
on each request.
<literal>session.gc_divisor</literal> defaults to <literal>100</literal>.
</simpara>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry xml:id="ini.session.gc-maxlifetime">
<term>
<parameter>session.gc_maxlifetime</parameter>
<type>integer</type>
</term>
<listitem>
<simpara>
<literal>session.gc_maxlifetime</literal> specifies the number
of seconds after which data will be seen as 'garbage' and
potentially cleaned up. Garbage collection may occur during session start
(depending on <link
linkend="ini.session.gc-probability">session.gc_probability</link> and
<link linkend="ini.session.gc-divisor">session.gc_divisor</link>).
</simpara>
<note>
<para>
If different scripts have different values of
<literal>session.gc_maxlifetime</literal> but share the same place for
storing the session data then the script with the minimum value will be
cleaning the data. In this case, use this directive together with <link
linkend="ini.session.save-path">session.save_path</link>.
</para>
</note>
<note>
<simpara>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 filesystem where atime tracking is not available.
Since PHP 4.2.3 it has used mtime (modified date) instead of atime. So, you
won't have problems with filesystems where atime tracking is not available.

<varlistentry xml:id="ini.session.referer-check">
<term>
<parameter>session.referer_check</parameter>
<type>string</type>
</term>
<listitem>
<simpara>
<literal>session.referer_check</literal> 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.

entropy source in the session id creation process. Examples are
<literal>/dev/random</literal> or <literal>/dev/urandom</literal>
which are available on many Unix systems.
</simpara>
<simpara>
This feature is supported on Windows since PHP 5.3.3. Setting

<literal>session.use_only_cookies</literal> specifies whether

Enabling this setting prevents attacks involved passing session

Marks the cookie as accessible only through the HTTP protocol. This means

<simpara>
URL based session management has additional security risks
compared to cookie based session management. Users may send
a URL that contains an active session ID to their friends by
email or users may save a URL that contains a session ID to
their bookmarks and access your site with the same session ID
always, for example.
