RE: [PHP-WIN] session problems

Hi carlos, First let me make some assumptions here. The server u are using is Apache..right???..If not i would recommend you to go for that. Ok ..Now if you see a folder like D:\Php\.....in your system, i am sure that php may have already installed in ur system or might have installed earlier then uninstalled....Never mind... If u can run php files from ur system i assume that php is installed some where...may be in your system or any other sytem in the network. First u do onething...Inorder to find the actual path of the session.save_path u write a simple script like <?php echo phpinfo(); ?> This script is supposed to give all the configuration details of the php installed. Go to the session section of that output page and look out for the path of the session.save_path. It may be something like /tmp or d:/tmp or someting like that. If you have installed the phpserver on another system "ORION"..Note the directory where server is installed and configure the session.save_path of the php file as: \\ORION\d\php\tmp if it is there. I use the path as c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\tmp b'cause i have made the temp directory in the root of the apache server ( i.e \htdocs\). It is where all the session files are stored. Oops......!!!!!! a lengthy mail.....sorry. Got any idea. ????? Check whether it works or not.. .......SuDeEp...... carlos castillo <ccastillo@imagine.com.co> wrote: HI, Youre rigth the php server is another pc on the net, so can you give some example of how configure the session.save_path, maybe something like /ORION/D:/PHP/tmp ORION = Php Server.

It is very sensitive. Now to your problem....If there is an error with session.save_path u need to configure the php.ini file. If u are using a remote server to run ur php files then the path of session.save_path cannot be like D:\PHP\temp. U have to mention the absolute path of your server......To verify this make a php file with script and run that. See the path of session.save_path. ...SuDeEp.... carlos castillo wrote: Hi, i have the followin problem, i have a site that use sessions, sometimes when i want to write on the session i get the followin error: Warning: Unknown(): The session id contains invalid characters, valid characters are only a-z, A-Z and 0-9 in Unknown on line 0 Warning: Unknown(): Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (D:\PHP\tmp) in Unknown on line 0 I see the folder D:\PHP\tmp and there is the session file, so i dont know whats the problem, also the script works ok, the problem is that at the end of the html show the warnings. Any clue?, thanks. Carlos A. Castillo.
