Hi folks,

I really don't know if this is a bug but I have a problem that I can't solve on my own. I'm running windows xp with the apache2 webserver and php 4.2.3. 

Today I tried to use start_session() command but got some uggly message that /tmp directory can't be found. Now problem here is that I have changed session.save_path variable in php.ini from /tmp to the c:\windows\temp\phptemp and offcourse restarted appache after that.

Now I hope that some can help me with this one.

Thanks
Darren

Forget to tell you that I'm running php in module mode...

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

Maybe not... But it's a PHP Manual who told me to change that variable in php.ini if I wanted to run sessions on win32 system. And when I change it, as manual says, it isn't working... I'm not asking for help on using start_session() command. I just wonder why things aren't working as they should according to the PHP manual.

Thanks anyway for your response :-) I will try to ask my question on some of the php forum.

Regards
Darren

It's working now... It was a php.ini location problem. According to install.txt file php.ini should be placed in the c:\windows\system32 directory but that wasn't working and when I placed php.ini in c:\windows directory it began to work.

So now I can use session on my win32 system :-)

However you could change that information in install.txt that comes with the php distribution (zip file).

Best regards
Darren
