Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] Why does session.gc_maxlifetime default to 1440 seconds?
From: bas@tobin.nl (Bas van Beek)


Well the number 1440 itself is not so arbitrary as it's the amount of =
minutes in a day. Maybe that's why the number popped up.

In the end 24 minutes does seem to be fine for the majority of people =
and with people that care about session duration it's really easy to =
update :)
