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: Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: Session related Operating System: win2k PHP Version: 4.2.1 New Comment: Thanks. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-20 07:08:39] ian.cluderay@blueyonder.co.uk Yes, and it shows all the changes I've made to the file File header System Windows NT 5.0 build 2195 Build Date May 12 2002 23:51:56 Server API ISAPI Virtual Directory Support enabled Configuration File (php.ini) Path C:\WINNT\php.ini Debug Build no Thread Safety enabled The only mystery is that the session.save_path shows session.save_path /tmp /tmp when the ini file says ; Argument passed to save_handler. In the case of files, this is the path ; where data files are stored. Note: Windows users have to change this ; variable in order to use PHP's session functions. session.save_path = "c:\php\sessions" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-20 07:02:54] sander@php.net Does phpinfo() show the correct place of your php.ini file _and_ the correct session.save_path? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
