Re: Re: Issue saving session on windows xp

FYI, problem has been resolved, thanks to the help of Alex Turner, who gave me a number of great suggestions. Alex recommended that I use a different folder to write session files, rather than c:\windows\temp. I did that, and voila it worked. It does however highlight some curiosities. The Windows\temp directory returned a status of WRITABLE when I checked its status through the web browser, which would imply that I should have been able to save session files there.... but none were ever saved there. No errors just didn't save them. As soon as I pointed the session path to another folder, it worked like a champ. On 9/6/06, Alex Turner <aturner@project-network.com> wrote:

I have confirmed that I have writable access to my session save path, but session variables are still not saved. Does anyone have suggestions for configuration changes, etc.? Reproduce code: --------------- ini_set("session.save_path","C:\\WINDOWS\\temp"); session_start(); echo (($sp=ini_get('session.save_path'))?$sp:'Not set<br>'); echo is_writable($sp) ? ' writable<br>':' not writable<br>'; if (!isset($_SESSION['count'])) {

    $_SESSION['count'] = 0;
    }

else {

    $_SESSION['count']++;
    }

echo $_SESSION['count']; ?> Expected result: ---------------- c:\windows\temp writable 0, 1, 2, 3 , 4... Actual result: -------------- c:\windows\temp writable 0, 0, 0, 0, 0... Have you tried setting up the session from php.ini? I have never tried doing it from ini_set like this. Can you send us your php.ini? Or part of it.
