Hi,

I just have a couple of questions regarding sessions. I read the php
manual but I just wasn't clear on a couple of things.

I am using the following to control my sessions:
...
ini_set('session.save_path',"./sessions/sess/");
ini_set("session.gc_maxlifetime","300");
ini_set('session.gc_probability',1);
ini_set('session.gc_divisor',1);
...

I want the garbage collector to kill a users session the second a user
closes their browser (or as quick as possible). Am I doing correct
above ^ to achieve this?

Also, are there any security issues with having the 'session.save_path'
set to a directory like above or should I perhaps have it set to
somewhere like "../../sessions/sess/"?

Thanks in advance!
