Hi, I have received the following error using PHP 4.2.0 with Apache 1.3.24 on W2k: Warning: open(/tmp\sess_04521803c0d52b11a15affab18ed36a7, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\news_authorize.php on line 2 and I realize that says the tmp dir for the sessions data is not there, BUT I have previously set my php.ini line dealing with this to: ; 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 = C:\WINNT\TEMP (and there is a file named sessions.text in that dir) just as it mentioned to do in the manual comments on php.net. What have I missed here? The code from the offending page: <?php

    session_start();
    $username = $_POST['username'];
    $password = $_POST['password'];
    $password2 = $_POST['password2'];
    $loginForm = $_POST['loginForm'];
    session_register(username, password);

Am I misusing session_start()? Thanks for any help or suggestions. Kirk

indeed you are misusing session_register... besides the fact that ression_register has been made to be redundant with the inclusion of $_SESSION, you are supposed to register the variables before you use them, not afterwards.
