Description:
------------
When I run this command:

session_save_path("/var/spool/sessions");

I get:

session_save_path() [function.session-save-path]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 24713 is not allowed to access /var/spool

The information in the message is correct but I suppose the function should check /var/spool/sessions, not /var/spool. (note that /var/spool/session exists and has the right permissions so there's no need to modify /var/spool).

Probably the OnUpdateSaveDir() function in session.c should give a different flag to php_checkuid().

/var/spool/session or /var/spool/sessions ?
What if try this:
session_save_path("/var/spool/sessions/"); ?

This is the 3rd time I write this reply, it keeps disappearing after I submit it. Anyway:

Appending a '/' to the path fixes the problem, thanks.

However it should work even without a trailing '/' just like any other path related setting.
