[thelist] php session_start() function

Hey thanks guys,

Finally cracked it.  There was another file called php.ini in the
c:/WINDOWS/Temp directory.  I don't know why there were two (here and one in
the php directory).  Anyway I changed the seeion.save_path in the Windows
one, and that solved the problem.  Thanks for all the help - I have been
tearing my hair out over this one.

Cheers

Santilal

Hmm... I'd expect to see absolute path for php.ini... but I don't know.

It looks right...

True. Makes me think that PHP isn't finding the php.ini. Try moving it
from php dircetory to C:\windows and restart Apache (no need to restart
your computer).

Or plan B: set the value in httpd.conf, .htaccess or script level using
ini_set()
