note 129314 added to session.configuration

The session.save-path doesn't work in 8.3.3 as it did in previous versions on windows / IIS. upgrading from 8.1 to 8.3 causes the session save path to be interpreted differently. To fix this you have to write the absolute path to the session folder location within php.ini. An example on windows using IIS would be something along the lines of C:\inetpub\wwwroot\sessiontmp Leaving the session path line commented out or even specifying "\tmp" within php.ini causes the session path to be incorrectly assigned which prevents all sessions from being created. After manually adding the full local server path for your session temporary folder within PHP.INI, can sessions be created again. Even creating the folders in the correct location within your inetpub folder fails to fix the issue with the 8.3.3. Reverting back to PHP 8.1.26 also reverts the behaviour back to previous and all default PHP.INI settings work correctly and sessions can be created as expected. This shows it is an issue with PHP 8.3.3. I spent 3 hours diagnosing that error hopefully i have saved you time too. ---- Server IP: 45.112.84.4 Probable Submitter: 80.90.13.131 (proxied: 195.224.48.38) ---- Manual Page -- https://php.net/manual/en/session.configuration.php Edit -- https://main.php.net/note/edit/129314 Del: integrated -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129314/integrated Del: useless -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129314/useless Del: bad code -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129314/bad+code Del: spam -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129314/spam Del: non-english -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129314/non-english Del: in docs -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129314/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129314 Reject -- https://main.php.net/note/reject/129314 Search -- https://main.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
