RE: [PHP-WIN] Editing setting session_save.path in the php.ini file doesn't register the change!!!

Yes, it seems that php defaults to some hardcoded values if it can't find the php.ini file. However, my problem still remains unsolved. Even when the php.ini file is in the c:\winnt directory it is not registering changes to the session.save_path variable. Is this a bug or am i doing something wrong?

That is because php is looking for php.ini in c:\winnt.....it has no relation to whether or not the file actually exists there. If a php.ini does not exist where it looks for it, php uses defaults for every internal setting. > -----Original Message----- > From: Hammad Sophie [mailto:hammad@sibisoft.com] > Sent: Tuesday, April 02, 2002 3:26 PM > To: php-win > Subject: RE: [PHP-WIN] Editing setting session_save.path in > the php.ini > file doesn't register the change!!! > > > I've been playing around with my php installation.
