Geoff,

Sorry to hear you are having such a difficult time.  I won't swear what I'm
about to write will fix your problem, but I highly recommend following the
suggestion anyway.

PHPLIB 7.2d is _very_ old by now.  I know for a fact that many bugs have
been fixed since then, especially in session.inc.

I would suggest downloading to a clean, empty directory the PHPLIB 7.4-pre1
release from https://sourceforge.net/projects/phplib/.  I have been using
this release on several production servers for a year without problems.

I suggest the empty directory approach to make sure you aren't getting
mixed files.  It almost sounds like you are including 2 different versions
of session.inc (maybe one named session.php3?) and causing gc() to be
redeclared.

Good luck.
