registering variables with session

[Anon]

Hi,
I am a beginner with php and am facing this problem when I try to register a session variable. I get the following warning message:

Warning: open(/tmp/sess_294aa45a3e5b83d59e4ef48a63807401, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in /www/htdocs/rajiv/project/php/driver.php on line 2

My code is as follows:

session_start();
// register session variables
session_register("htmlwriter");

require("DSTPHTMLWriter.php");


$htmlwriter = new DSTPHTMLWriter();

$htmlwriter->stdHTMLHeaderWithPHPFile("DSTP WEBCLIENT FORMAT\t\t", "serveroptions.php");
$htmlwriter->displayIntroduction();  

..... $htmlwriter->createSubmitBtns();

On Submit and php file handling it creates a new HTML page. When I try to use my $htmlwriter variable in that page, it does not recognize it.

Can someone tell me what the problem is??
Thanks in advance!

Rajiv

I would suggest you to use your session variables via MySQL. You can do this by using the following script:

read that -- this will help you.

make sure your /tmp/ directory is writable by the webserver user.

I had the same problem under Windows 2000.

In my case the directory "/tmp/" didn't exist under the root of my hard drive (d:\tmp), where Apache and PHP are installed.
