session_save_path, Win32 and 4.0.1pl2: I tried passing a database name to user session handlers so I could use MySQL for the session store. session_save_path() made the database name in to an invalid string. The result was an access violation, php.exe dumped and the whole network went up in flames. To access the database name, I had to use strval(session_save_path()). In the end I removed session_save_path() and used a global variable. See bug report 6375 for all the gory detail. PS, the network actually caught fire because lighting struck the building while I was diagnosing the problem. I doubt the lighting was instantiated by the PHP code. :-) http://www.php.net/manual/function.session-save-path.php
