[RESOLVED] Custom Session Handler is not working

[Sayian]

I have tried to start storing sessions in my database, but it is not working correctly.

Im not really sure what data to provide you to get help, but heres what ive done so far

ive setup and included session.php which has all my custom session handlers.

Ive tested the session by assigning a session var that updates a count everytime the page is loaded

their are also no sessions in the database table that i have created to store them, So i dont know whats going on

Please let me know where to start de-bugging or what i could provide to show you, thank you

Here is the important parts of session.php

$SESS_DBHOST = "localhost";			/* database server hostname */
$SESS_DBNAME = "xxx";			/* database name */
$SESS_DBUSER = "xxx";		/* database user */
$SESS_DBPASS = "xxx";		/* database password */

$SESS_DBH = "";
$SESS_LIFE = get_cfg_var("session.gc_maxlifetime");

function sess_open($save_path, $session_name) {
	global $SESS_DBHOST, $SESS_DBNAME, $SESS_DBUSER, $SESS_DBPASS, $SESS_DBH;

if (! $SESS_DBH = mysql_pconnect($SESS_DBHOST, $SESS_DBUSER, $SESS_DBPASS)) {
	echo "<li>Can't connect to $SESS_DBHOST as $SESS_DBUSER";
	echo "<li>MySQL Error: ", mysql_error();
	die;
}

if (! mysql_select_db($SESS_DBNAME, $SESS_DBH)) {
	echo "<li>Unable to select database $SESS_DBNAME";
	die;
}

return true;
}

function sess_close() {
	return true;
}

function sess_read($key) {
	global $SESS_DBH, $SESS_LIFE;

$qry = "SELECT value FROM sessions WHERE sesskey = '$key' AND expiry > " . time();
$qid = mysql_query($qry, $SESS_DBH);

if (list($value) = mysql_fetch_row($qid)) {
	return $value;
}

return false;
}

function sess_write($key, $val) {
	global $SESS_DBH, $SESS_LIFE;

$expiry = time() + $SESS_LIFE;
$value = addslashes($val);

$qry = "INSERT INTO sessions VALUES ('$key', $expiry, '$value')";
$qid = mysql_query($qry, $SESS_DBH);

if (! $qid) {
	$qry = "UPDATE sessions SET expiry = $expiry, value = '$value' WHERE sesskey = '$key' AND expiry > " . time();
	$qid = mysql_query($qry, $SESS_DBH);
}

return $qid;
}

function sess_destroy($key) {
	global $SESS_DBH;

$qry = "DELETE FROM sessions WHERE sesskey = '$key'";
$qid = mysql_query($qry, $SESS_DBH);

return $qid;
}

function sess_gc($maxlifetime) {
	global $SESS_DBH;

$qry = "DELETE FROM sessions WHERE expiry < " . time();
$qid = mysql_query($qry, $SESS_DBH);

return mysql_affected_rows($SESS_DBH);
}

session_set_save_handler(
	"sess_open",
	"sess_close",
	"sess_read",
	"sess_write",
	"sess_destroy",
	"sess_gc");

I know the script is being included b/c i i add echo"test"; to the top of the file, it prints test out to the browser ... So if ive set these custom session method's why isnt php using them?
