Code

public function gc(int $lifetime) : int|false {
    // Be sure to adjust 'php_value session.gc_maxlifetime' to a large enough
    // value. For example, if you want user sessions to stay in your database
    // for three weeks before deleting them, you need to set gc_maxlifetime
    // to '1814400'. At that value, only after a user doesn't log in after
    // three weeks (1814400 seconds) will their session be removed.
