Garbage collection

If you want you can set up a cron and do your own custom garbage collection based on your session settings. You don't have to rely on the built in GC mechanism. This is one example:

PHP Code:

public function ci_sessions_gc()
    {
        $this->load->database();
        
        $sess_expiration = config_item('sess_expiration');
        $sess_save_path  = config_item('sess_save_path');

        if( $sess_expiration > 0 )
        {
            $epoch_expired = time() - $sess_expiration;
            $this->db->where('timestamp <', $epoch_expired)
                ->delete( $sess_save_path );
        }
    }
