I want to store sessions in mysql database and don't want to
store them in files. How to accomplish this. Do i need to make some changes in php.ini. or somebody can provide me the script
for same.

You have to write / use custom session handlers. I did that myself, but I'm told it's a bad idea from a performance standpoint to store session data in mysql because (for most of the table types) it uses table-level locking.
