PHP and Sessions

[Anon]

I'm using PHP on a Win ME box, and am trying to get sessions to work, but for smoe reason I keep getting an error when PHP tries to generate the session files. Does anyone know how to fix this.

Hi,

I've got the same problems on my W2K box until I made the following entry in my php.ini:

[Session]
; Handler used to store/retrieve data.
session.save_handler = files

; Argument passed to save_handler. In the case of files, this is the path
; where data files are stored.
session.save_path = \Temp

; Whether to use cookies.
session.use_cookies = 1

; Name of the session (used as cookie name).
session.name = PHPSESSID

hope this will help,

There is a directory that MUST be availiable. It is : c:\PHP\tmp\ assuming you have PHP in c:\PHP. Make this directory and you should be okay.

hi there, in php4.0.4pl1 there is a subdirectory being provided for sessions like /php/sessiondata, but when using php4.0.5 and php4.0.6dev then sessiondata sub-directory is no longer provided. why? since most users like me, opt to to all session variables in windows\temp\ directory.

see you.

I got a similar error/warning on my Wind2k box after doing a default install. I fixed it by going into the php.ini folder and changing the session.save_path variable to session.save_path = C:\WINNT\Temp; (or in your case c:\windows\Temp)
