I'm unable to reproduce.  You realize that A) session vars aren't
written until you move to the next page, and B) register_globals is off
now in PHP, right?

This is the session section of my php.ini: 
 
[Session] 
; Handler used to store/retrieve data. 
session.save_handler = files 
 
; 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 = /tmp 
 
; Whether to use cookies. 
session.use_cookies = 1 
 
 
; Name of the session (used as cookie name). 
session.name = PHPSESSID 
 
; Initialize session on request startup. 
session.auto_start = 0 
 
; Lifetime in seconds of cookie or, if 0, until browser is restarted. 
session.cookie_lifetime = 0 
 
; The path for which the cookie is valid. 
session.cookie_path = / 
 
; The domain for which the cookie is valid. 
session.cookie_domain = 
 
; Handler used to serialize data.  php is the standard serializer of
PHP. 
session.serialize_handler = php 
 
; Percentual probability that the 'garbage collection' process is
started 
; on every session initialization. 
session.gc_probability = 1 
 
; After this number of seconds, stored data will be seen as 'garbage'
and 
; cleaned up by the garbage collection process. 
session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440 
; Check HTTP Referer to invalidate externally stored URLs containing
ids. 
; HTTP_REFERER has to contain this substring for the session to be 
; considered as valid. 
session.referer_check = 
 
; How many bytes to read from the file. 
session.entropy_length = 0 
 
; Specified here to create the session id. 
session.entropy_file = 
 
;session.entropy_length = 16 
 
;session.entropy_file = /dev/urandom 
 
; Set to {nocache,private,public} to determine HTTP caching aspects. 
session.cache_limiter = nocache 
 
; Document expires after n minutes. 
session.cache_expire = 180 
 
; use transient sid support if enabled by compiling with 
--enable-trans-sid. 
session.use_trans_sid = 1 
 
url_rewriter.tags =
"a=href,area=href,frame=src,input=src,form=fakeentry" 
 
 
And here  a sample of the code I am using. 
 
<?php 
        session_start(); 
        session_register('llenguaActual'); 
 
        $llenguaActual=$HTTP_GET_VARS['language']; 
        if (!isset($llenguaActual)) { 
                $llenguaActual="catala"; 
        } 
?>

Can you please provide a sample script and the session section of your
php.ini file?

My configure is: 
./configure --with-apache=../apache_1.3.26 --with-mysql=/usr/local 
 
I tried with the same configure and the same php.ini with other
versions 
and in 4.1.2 i get the same result but in 4.0.6 it works fine. 
I think this is a bug in versions newer than php 4.0.6

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.

Helo.
I have some trouble with the session mangement.
I am getting that error when I try to create a session


[13-Aug-2002 12:01:07] PHP Warning:  write failed: Invalid argument
(22) in Unknown on line 0
[13-Aug-2002 12:01:07] PHP 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


but it creates the file correctly.
When I try to modify that file in other page I get the same error and
it do anything in the session file in tmp.

The permissions in my tmp directory are: 

drwxrwxrwt    2 root     root         4096 Aug 13 09:54 tmp


I tried the 4.2.2 and the snap versions and i get the same error.

Please can you help me ??
Thanks.
Cristian.
