Yes, it seems that php defaults to some hardcoded values if it can't find the php.ini file. However, my problem still remains unsolved. Even when the php.ini file is in the c:\winnt directory it is not registering changes to the session.save_path variable.
Is this a bug or am i doing something wrong?

That is because php is looking for php.ini in c:\winnt.....it has no relation to whether or not the file actually exists there. If a php.ini does not exist where it looks for it, php uses defaults for every internal setting. > -----Original Message----- > From: Hammad Sophie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, April 02, 2002 3:26 PM > To: php-win > Subject: RE: [PHP-WIN] Editing setting session_save.path in > the php.ini > file doesn't register the change!!! > > > I've been playing around with my php installation.
