I had to run PHP as DLL rather than EXE because I need to override php.ini settings by using .htaccess

As an EXE it works properly, but when run as apache DLL I face session problems. Although I change session.save_path in php.ini to "c:\\apache\\php\\tmp" (also tried "c:\apache\php\tmp") PHP tries to save cookies to /tmp , and for sure it cannot.

I did a session.save_handler = mm  in php.ini, but PHP still tried to save the cookie to /tmp.
