Session Expiry<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Hi all.<BR><BR>I've recently set up a memcached server for the
purpose of PHP Session clustering. It's working very nicely, although
I'm having trouble working out how to control the lifetime of my
sessions. I'm just using the standard PECL module and no modification to
my code. <BR>I've got memcached running with 512M of RAM allocated to
it. I run some fairly busy sites, so I figured I'd go overkill on the
memory allocation just in case. I'd like to lower this if possible, but
I noticed this morning (after 3 days of operation) that all of that 512M is
being utilised and just under 5Gigs of session data has been saved to the data
in that timespan!! <BR><BR>My main goal is to be able to control my
session lifetime, but I'm also interested in learning about any other tips and
tricks people might have to offer with the management of memcached. So
far, the most information I've been able to gather from my daemon is the
following: <BR><A
