Some PHP stuff for you:
Ivan wonders when do sessions end?

It’s always been a hassle getting PHP4 sessions working as a backend to phplib sessions. Here’s how I did it:

1. Download the latest phplib tarball (currenty phplib-7.4-pre1) and copy php/* into your include directory and customize as per the INSTALL docs.
2. Download session4.inc file from http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/phplib/php-lib/php/session/session4.inc and copy it into your a subdirectory of your include directory called “session”.
3. Copy session4_custom.inc from phplib-7.4-pre1/unsup/ to your include directory.
4. Edit prepend.php3 and change session.inc to session4_custom.inc and edit local.inc and change your session class definition so that it inherits from Session_Custom. Add var $module = 'files'; to the session class so it’ll use PHP4.
5. Copy user4.inc from phplib-7.4-pre1/unsup/ into your include directory and modify prepend.php3 so it includes that instead of user.inc

Now visit a page that has a page_open() call and take a look in /tmp/ for sess_* files.
It’s way faster than using a database for sessions!

There’s also more docs but I think they refer to different code.

Ivan has also written an article about php session security with some good points to follow.
