Failed to write session data (files).

Anon

We have recently turned error_log on and we are getting all PHP errors into a log file.

We cannot see any problems on the server but about 30-50 times each they we have the following in the error log:

[05-Mar-2002 22:39:38] PHP 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

Our sessions are actually working fine, as far as we can see and /tmp is also the correct path, session files are getting generated and I have no idea what could be wrong.

Any idea what is happening?

I\'ve hade some experience with session variables after upgrading to php 4.1.2.

I have found that PHPSESSID variable is not visible to scripts residing in a subdir to $DOCUMENT_ROOT the second time they reload.

After some research I have found that if you put setcookie(\"PHPSESSID\",$PHPSESSID); immediately after you restart the session the session variables will work fine everytime the page reloads.

Php scripts residing directly under $DOCUMENT_ROOT doesn\'t need this \"fix\" to handle sessions correctly.

If it sounds crazy.. Feel free to try my \"research\" scripts.

start with http://ut.telge.kth.se/n.php and reload once. PHPSESSID cookie should be set. Go to http://ut.telge.kth.se/mboard2/n.php and you should have the same PHPSESSID value. Press reload and PHPSESSID will be cleared for some odd reason. Close the browser and open a new one. Go to http://ut.telge.kth.se/n.php and press reload to see the session id again. Now go to http://ut.telge.kth.se/mboard2/n2.php. No matter how many times you press reload the PHPSESSID should remain the same.

Can someone explain why this happens? Worked fine before 4.1.2 without this \"fix\".
