Cleaning up sessiondata folder...

Hello all,
After enabling sessions for my website I have approx. 785 files in my
sessiondata folder. Now, I know what these are, however, I don't know
when/how is the best way to clean them (besides running a weekly delete
batch file).

Once the users leaves and closes the browser, the session is essential dead,
right ? So, why would I need to keep these files around ? I looked in
PHP.INI but I could not find any "cleaning" settings to remove the files.

Currently, I am only passing a few vars to the session, so they aren't too
big, maybe 12kb.

Should I just setup a delete script ?
Thanks.

PHP will take care of them eventually. If their temporary presence bugs you
so, you can set session.gc_prob ability to a higher value (say 50) so that
the garbage is taken out more often.

Hi, can anybody help me with the cleaning of really messy HTML from the news site into really clean XHTML, which I would like to then analyze with some qualitative analysis (probably exporting to plain ASCII in meantime, but not necessarily). I can do some little cleaning by hand, but when there some hundreds of webpages, I hoped that I could create some XSL stylesheet for conversion.

I consider myself somewhat of a neat-freak when it comes to organization of information. Call me old-fashioned, but I believe that includes should be in the includes folder, images in the image folder. Hell, the databases should even be in a database folder.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
