PHP4 and Session management

Anon

I'm new in PHP and I'm trying to use PHP4 buit-in sessions.
I beleive thsi is a configuration problem since the code below:

<?php
session_start();
if( !isset($currInfo) ) $currInfo = "";
if( !isset($currPG) ) $currPG = "";
$currInfo = $ID;
$currPG = $PG;
session_register("currInfo");
session_register("currPG");
?>

produces the following errors:

Warning: open(/tmp/sess_a6791e0a3dcb0e230aff571697a39e28, O_RDWR) failed: m (2) in D:\LocalSites\Mrg\info.php on line 2

Warning: open(/tmp/sess_a6791e0a3dcb0e230aff571697a39e28, O_RDWR) failed: m (2) in Unknown on line 0

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

PHP couldn't read or write to my session file. The track_var and register_globals are "on".

Please help me !!!!

If you are using this on windows then I believe that the first version of php4 has a bug in it in regards to sessions on windows and that it has been fixed in the lastest version.

If your not using windows then....pass?

Hello,

your filename is /tmp/sess_xxxx. On Windows there is no /tmp directory, so change in session section the path for saving session data to c:\temp or what ever you want.

I agree with what Thomas said but... and not trying to be smart...
make sure the c:\temp directory exists.

I noticed a post elsewhere about this.

The session.save_path variable in the ini file was properly set c:\tmp and it worked !!!.

Thank you.
