Firstly, that's not what was meant by "path depth", and secondly the 2-level proviso is incorrect anyway. There have been recent updates to the php.ini file which will be included in distributions which include revised information -- this can be found at http://cvs.php.net/co.php/php4/php.ini-dist. > The way I see it, this means I couldn't possibly save > the sessions in let's say > /www/mywebsite.com/tmp/sessions/ because the > the path depth is more than 2, and the garbage collection > wouldn't do it's > job. You should have no problem at all using this path. Cheers!
