[thelist] php session_start() function

[Santilal Parbhu]

Thanks,

I have had another reply suggesting the same thing.  What should the setting
be for session.save_handler.  Is "files" OK.

Do a phpinfo() and tell us what the values of session.save_handler and
session.save_path are.

My guess is that session.save_handler is 'files' and session.save_path
is the default of '/tmp'. If you are on Windows, you have to change this
to a valid directory (e.g. c:/temp) in order to use PHP sessions.

You say: why wouldn't they set the default to a valid directory in the
Windows distribution?

An excellent question. The answer is 42.
