session.save_path value not updating from /tmp to c:\PHP\sessiondata

RedSyphon

As described in the subject I can't change my session.save_path value away from /tmp

Even tho all my php.ini files have the path as C:\PHP\sessiondata (yes the folder exists) if I do a phpinfo() it shows the path as /tmp still.

I am also getting the session_start() errors and they are listing the path as /tmp

I have tried restarting the erver as well as the machine (its localhost) but still no change. I'm running it on my local machine and its a WinXP Professional.

I'm all out of ideas so any advice is appreciated.

Agian sumary of what i have tried:

Changed the path from /tmp to c:\PHP\sessiondata in php.ini

Restarted server

Restarted Machine

Made a copy of the php.ini file in C:\WINDOWS to C:\PHP

Restarted server/Machine

used phpinfo() to look at status still says /tmp as save_path 🙁

Thanks in advance

What does it give as path to php.ini? (it should say!)

I'm guessing you're still editing the wrong file....

RedSyphon

Configuration File (php.ini) Path is

C:\WINDOWS

So, in c:\windows\php.ini, you have the following line?

session.save_path = c:\PHP\sessiondata

Make sure it exists and is writable by the web server.

Are you using Apache?

I am using apache yes

fxed the problem

for some reason my machine wasnt seeing the file as a configuration file.

it was detecting it as an .ini file but it wasnt being used at all by php. i re-copied the origonal file in configuration mode and re-edited form there.

all works well now except for my extensions 🙁

for some reason the file path wont work.

thnx for the help
