Description:
------------
We are experiencing a repoducible crash of an xt:Commerce installation
since the server was upgraded from PHP 4.4.4 to PHP 4.4.5. This was neither resolved by upgrading to 4.4.6 nor by upgrading to snapshot php4-STABLE-200703070730

Reproduce code:
---------------
The failing Code seems to be in xt:Commerce's sessions.php, i'm not able to detect this any further at the moment. The Version is 

$Id: sessions.php,v 1.1 2003/09/06 22:13:54 fanta2k Exp $

Actual result:
--------------

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves. 

A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external 
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a 
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates 
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.

Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

The problem seems to be that xt::Commerce's configuration variable SESSION_WRITE_DIRECTORY is set to an emtpy value.
The problem can be reduced to this code snippet:

<?
  session_save_path("");
  session_start(); 
?>
 [2007-03-07 14:45 UTC] tony2001@php.net 
This code snippet works perfectly fine.

I retried this on a different System, same behavior in 4.4.6 and php4-STABLE-200703070730. This is my compile Script:

#!/bin/sh
echo "##############################################################"
echo "#### PHP"
echo "##############################################################"


tar xvzf php4-STABLE-200703070730.tar.gz
cd php4-STABLE-200703070730

echo "###### Running make on php"
make
make install

Calling session_save_path with any value gives the expected behavior like: Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(bla/sess_e5d8178fe831d9fa1f29f188c397123c, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2)

I could solve this problem changeing mod_files.c. Note that i'm not a programmer ;)

This returns my php installation to the expected behavior:
