Bug #17871 Updated: session.save_path has no effect

ID: 17871 Updated by: ian.cluderay@blueyonder.co.uk Reported By: ian.cluderay@blueyonder.co.uk Status: Bogus Bug Type: Session related Operating System: win2k PHP Version: 4.2.1 New Comment: That dosn't make sense, I removed my PHP.ini file from C:\winnt and PHP ceased to work properly. I put it back and it works fine (apart from this problem). When I've edited it before the changes have been noticed so it does know where to find the file. I could understand it being a config issue apart from the fact that NOWHERE does it use /tmp I changed those references, so where is PHP getting this from ? PHP incorrectly belives my session.store_path is /tmp but I've removed all references to /tmp and restart my PC more than once (i've also restarted IIS). Where is PHP incorrectly getting this info from ?

Your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php Thank you for your interest in PHP. It's likely that PHP can't find your ini file.

Warning: open(/tmp\sess_3d0b06a40edc759e3bbc38603d5ca596, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\PAGE_COUNT.php on line 2 I've edited my c:\winnt\php.ini file so the session.save_path is "c:\php\sessions" but it still thinks its /tmp No reference to /tmp anywhere that I can see, I've rebooted many times to no avail. PHP code is <?php session_register("view1count"); session_register("view2count"); session_register("view3count"); session_register("view4count"); ?> <?php if (!$view1count) $view1count=0; if (!$view2count) $view2count=0; if (!$view3count) $view3count=0; if (!$view4count) $view4count=0; if (!$whichpage) $whichpage=0; echo "<html><head><title>Web Page Hit Counter</title></head><body>"; if ($whichpage) { echo "<B>You are currently on page $whichpage.</B><BR><BR>\n"; $GLOBALS["view${whichpage}count"]++; } for ($i = 1; $i <= 4; $i++) { if ($whichpage == $i) { echo "<B><A HREF=\"$PHP_SELF?".SID."&whichpage=$i\">Page $i</A></B>"; } else { echo "<A HREF=\"$PHP_SELF?".SID."&whichpage=$i\">Page $i</A>"; } echo ", which you have chosen ".$GLOBALS["view${i}count"]." times.<BR>\n"; } echo "\n\n<BR><BR>\n\n"; echo "</BODY></HTML>"; ?> and my session section from c:\winnt\php.ini is [Session] ; Handler used to store/retrieve data. session.save_handler = files ; Argument passed to save_handler.
