PHP sessions problem

[Anon]

Hello everyone, Hope you can help with this... I have tried the simple following code:
<?
session_start();
session_register("page_views");
$page_views++;
echo "You have visited this page";
echo $page_views;
?>

And on my development system I get the following:

Warning: open(/tmp\sess_5044437977c6f5a17943c5470f391d57, O_RDWR) failed: m (2) in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\eunetyuba\test.php on line 2
You have visited this page1
Warning: open(/tmp\sess_5044437977c6f5a17943c5470f391d57, O_RDWR) failed: m (2) in Unknown on line 0

Warning: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/tmp) in Unknown on line 0

What went wrong?

Thanks ,
Mike

hi,

if you are trying this script on a windows server, then this error is becos of the absence of the /tmp directory. change the temporary directory settings in php.ini and change it to c:\windows\temp or any other existing folder.

hope that helps

Hi,

You have to check the php config file and see where the tmp directory is going to be. On my system it was c:\program files\php\sessions. Also if you are running windows 2000/NT/XP with a NTFS filesystem you need to have permission for the INET_USER to be able to read/write information to that directory.

This "O_RDWR" seems to mean that you don;t have permission or something.
