Reported By: eggli@giga.net.tw Old Status: Closed Status: Feedback Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Windows 98 PHP Version: 4.0.1pl2 New Comment: What kind of FAT file system are you using?

PS: Change status to "Open" if you reopen bug report :) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-12 04:25:08] fbo@qwest.net Don't use the testing program I posted, I forgot it was tied to a database. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-12 03:46:20] fbo@qwest.net I get these 3 warnings on Windows 98 4.10.2222A, Apache 1.3.14, PHP 4.0.3pl1: Warning: open(\tmp\sess_906cf0440e666cf0f87ea4bbee139c97, O_RDWR) failed: m (2) in c:\program files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs/session2.php on line 2 Warning: open(\tmp\sess_906cf0440e666cf0f87ea4bbee139c97, O_RDWR) failed: m (2) in Unknown on line 0 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 The following solved the problem: Make sure you are editing the php.ini file found in the Php\ directory, not in the windows\ directory. Set the session.save_path to an absolute path, relative paths (like /tmp) don't work. For example: session.save_path = C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs\tmp I used this prog for testing: <?php session_start(); session_register("your_name"); if(!empty($your_name)) { echo "I already know your name, $your_name"; } elseif(empty($your_name)&&!isset($submit)) { echo "<form name=myform method=post action=$PHP_SELF> <input type=text name=first_name> first name<br> <input type=text name=last_name> last name<br> <input type=submit name=submit value=submit> </form>"; } elseif(isset($submit)&&empty($your_name)) { $your_name=$first_name . " " . $last_name; echo "Thank you, $your_name"; } ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-08-01 22:43:39] waldschrott@php.net no feedback, closed ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-07-05 13:20:13] stas@cvs.php.net Also, what happens if you set enable_cookies to ON? And try also: printf('<a href="script.php?%s">Link</a>', session_id()); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-07-05 13:16:27] stas@cvs.php.net Does it happen on other win32 platforms too? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
