You have to set the session.save_path to a path on your machine that PHP can write session files to. You can make a temp folder in your C: drive and then set the path to c:/temp or c:\\temp or create and set it to any other folder you want. Make sure (if you're using NTFS) that user IUSR_<computer_name> has permission to read/write to the directory you specify.

This worked fine, however when I'm using session variables the thing goes nuts: Warning: open(/tmp\sess_d22b57336449f89ad54b974794dd53f4, O_RDWR) failed: m (2) in C:\apache\htdocs\dm\wwwtest\phpincludes\session\session.php on line 2 Warning: open(/tmp\sess_d22b57336449f89ad54b974794dd53f4, 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 ------------------ This is how my phpinfo() sees it: session.save_handler files files session.save_path /tmp /tmp session.serialize_handler php php session.use_cookies On On Does anybody have any idea what to do. Should I adjust php.ini?? And where should this directory "/tmp " be located?? cause it's not on my harddisk--> so this might be the error. (i'm on winXP BTW) well, thx for all info! regards Wilbert ------------------------- Pas de Deux Van Mierisstraat 25 2526 NM Den Haag tel 070 4450855 fax 070 4450852 http://www.pdd.nl [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------- -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
