I annot get seesions to start

[Anon]

Hi,

You see everytime I try to run a php page contaning the sessions_start() function I get this error message:

Warning: open(/tmp\sess_ebd97257529cb151f8d673519be43e4b, O_RDWR) failed: m (2) in C:/Xitami/webpages/phptest/webs/sessions1/1.php on line 2

Warning: open(/tmp\sess_ebd97257529cb151f8d673519be43e4b, O_RDWR) failed: m (2) in Unknown on line 0

Warning: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/tmp) in Unknown on line 0

How do I solve this thing and get sessions to work. Thanks.

and /tmp exists and is writable?

What do you mean /tmp exists and is writable?

I mean just that: does /tmp exist, and can php write files to that directory?

When you setup PHP, you must define a directory where it can save temporary session data on the server. This is /tmp by default in php.ini. If you are running on windows, you must create a directory for these files and refer to it in php.ini, like "c:\php\sessions".
