sessions

[neekow]

Do you know why this works :

session_save_path("../../session/my_folder/");
session_start();

and this doesn't :

session_save_path("../../session/".$_POST['my_folder']."/");
session_start();

??

".$_POST['my_folder']." contains the name of "my_folder". so I hope to get a path like "../../session/my_folder/".

In the first case, the session file is registered in "my_folder" and in the second case it is registered in "session" and "my_folder" too!!
The problem : at the begining of the run of my php sheet, the informations are registered in "session", and after they are in "my_folder"!

Thanks for your help!

Have you tried concatenating the path to the folder to a string variable before using the session_save_path()?

Not sure it's going to work since session_start() has to be at the top of each page before anything.

My guess on an explanation is that the session needs to start at the beginning of each page, and it won't do any parsing until the session is started, so it sets an initial value, then moves to your value.
