Re: !!Urgent .. Session Problem

jeez.. stop using so many capital letters... it's considered as "yelling" or "shouting" when you do that. Are you prepending any file? (php.ini/.htaccess file.prepend setting) Dre wrote:

the session.save_path parameter in my php.ini file is as follows ************************************** session.save_path = "C:/WINDOWS/Temp" **************************************

Believe me, the discrepancy in paths between the error message and your

php.ini file setting means that PHP is *not* reading that php.ini. Either it's reading another one (which you say not), or it's not finding one at all and just using all its default settings.

Best thing to do at this point is probably to run a phpinfo and look to

see where PHP tells you it's expecting to find php.ini.

(Just in case you're new to that game: make a script containing <?php phpinfo() ?> and request it in your browser. In the block of information near the top

is the path of where it's expecting php.ini, labelled something like "Configuration file (php.ini) Path" -- that's where your php.ini should be.)
