The standard permissions for /tmp are 1777. This allows any user to write to
tmp, but only the user who created a specific file (eg, the session file as
apache) can delete the file. Further, sesssions are created with a very
restrictive permission set, so that ony the apache user and root will be able
to read the data.
Bottom line: make sure that /tmp exists and that its permissions are 1777. (as
root, chmod 1777 /tmp)

That would be one solution, but I am on a shared hosting server. I cannot
change the folder permissions.
I've asked tech support to look into this.
Does anyone know where I can get a class that will save the session vars
to mysql?

I ended up modifying the example of a postgres handler to work in mysql. I
haven't validated it for heavy usage though, nor whether the garbage
collection works properly. More than willing to share if you want it... oh,
and it isn't a class.

Look at on_session_save_handler in the manual, I believe there is an example
there on how to do this. If not google it, many examples of this exist...
So many that I don't think it's worth spamming this list with my own
examples.

Hi! I am trying to loop through two different database calls with two for
statements, one embedded in the other.
for ($i; $i < $codeset_rows; $i++)
{
$codeset_row = $this->database->fetch_array($codeset_query);
$codesys_query = $this->database->query("select
codesys.codesys_index,
codesys.code_name,
codesys.code_value
from codesys
where codesys.codeset_ID = ".$codeset_row['codeset_ID']);
$codesys_rows = $this->database->num_rows($codesys_query);
for ($j; $j < $codesys_rows; $j++)
{
echo "Blah, blah, blah....";
}
}
The current set up means that the first loop should cycle twice, and the
second loop should cycle 6 times the first time and 2 times the second.
So here is the question: $j doesn't unset when the loop ends. So when it
comes around the second time, $j still = 6 and since $codesys_rows = 2, it
skips the loop. I can fix this by putting an
if ($j)
{unset($j);}
right before the second loop. However, it seems that there should be some
more efficient way to do this.
Ideas?
Thanks!

What happens when you do the above...what is the var_dump of data?

I get this:
Warning: Sablotron error on line 1001: cannot open file
'/var/www/html/cdlib/search/results.xml' in
/var/www/html/cdlib/search/simple-search.php on line 24
string(591) " "
line 24 is the first call to xslt_process() above.
But I'd never tried using var_dump($data) before. It appears the the
second call is working fine: the file 'results.xml' exists already
becasue I've been using a command line XSL processor to test the
stylesheets. The second call to xslt_process() appears to have read
and processed the data which was in that file correctly because
var_dump() has inserted the result into the HTML following the error
message.

I have some pages that use sessions to call out certain elements in the
layouts. It allows user to decide how should their pages look for the
duration of their visit.
Unfortunately whenever a user leaves their browser idle past the expity time
of the session on their next click pages fall apart and all styles etc. are
lost.
I understand that I can detect or at least anticipate expiry of the session
and renew it before it does. The question is how?

Hello,
Why are you saving such information into a session? Sessions are for temporary
information. Use cookies or database, if you are doing what you are saying :) There
should be no harm.

$_SESSION is the proper way to do it (with globals off), you will still need to call
session_start() on each page.
