ID: 17871 Updated by: sander@php.net Reported By: ian.cluderay@blueyonder.co.uk -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Session related Operating System: win2k PHP Version: 4.2.1 New Comment: Does phpinfo() show the correct place of your php.ini file _and_ the correct session.save_path? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-20 06:59:00] ian.cluderay@blueyonder.co.uk Please take 2 mins to look over this, PHP has been told where to look for these files but its not listening. PHP.ini is where it should be and PHP knows where to find it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-20 06:57:58] ian.cluderay@blueyonder.co.uk 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 ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-20 06:22:52] mfischer@php.net Sorry, but the bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. 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. See http://cvs.php.net/co.php/php4/win32/install.txt for install instructions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-20 06:19:23] ian.cluderay@blueyonder.co.uk Simple PHP code (from a WROX book)gives error when trying to use sessions. 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.
