Basic sessions managment

[azrulnazim]

I am currently trying to do up my 'user login' program for my website using sessions managment.

Are we supposed to do any configuration to activate the sessions scope.

I always put my <?php session_start(); ?> statement as the first line of the page but Im still getting nasty messages such as:-

Warning: session_start(): open(/tmp\sess_d1a628ed276dfa8e37021e1732354b2f, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in c:/pathtofile on line....2

Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\rs-int-php-start\test.php:2) in c:\pathtofile... on line 2

Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\rs-int-php-start\test.php:2) in c:\pathtofile... on line 2

I was told that in cold fusion, we have to write a simple program to activate the sessions management control. Do we have to apply the same to PHP as well? Is there any other configuration at the php.ini file?

No, but you do have to configure your php.ini to store session files in a valid folder. Look for session.save_path

whats on line 2?

[azrulnazim]

the command on line to is:-
session_start();

I think there i need to do some tweeking at the php.ini file.

Finally, I managed to solve the problem by configuring the php.ini file. The problem was that I did not configure my sessions.save_path file. After defining the path it went fine.

Cheers to LordShryku!
