Failed to initialize session module

[JF1980]

Ok, please take a look at my session handler here:

It's the second version.

Now I have a real problem. It all works fine on 3 different PHP/Apache installs I have on my local network, but when I upload it to the main testing server we use on the net, I get this error:

Fatal error: Failed to initialize session module in /*****/application.common/common.header.php on line 18

This line is the session_start(); command.

I have set all of the ini vars to the same as my local system. Grrrr, this server is PHP 4.2.2 which may be a problem but I can't see why!

Any ideas peeps?

most common prob i've seen is invalid session_save_path ini setting, or inadequate access writes

Hmm, well is shouldn't matter as I am using a custom session_set_handler!

I have set the session handler to 'user'!

It works on 4 other systems, has me baffled!

Ok there is a bug in some builds of PHP 4.2.2 with the session_set_save_handler. I upgraded to the latest stable release and it works fine.
