><tip type="php sessions">
>Sessions on PHP(and I imagine ASP and JSP too) do not work properly in a load
>balanced server environment.  Say server X and server Y are 2 servers in a
>load balanced cluster.  A user connects to server X and create a session. 
>The next request might go to server Y which has no knowledge of the session. 
>An easy way to resolve this problem in PHP is to use the session_save_path()
>function.  Since the directory where PHP saves sessions is specified in the
>php.ini file and is usually /tmp or C:\TEMP, this is what causes the problem
>since both are seperate directories on 2 different boxes.  To solve this,
>find a shared directory that all load balanced servers have access to and
>create a tmp directory to store your sessions.  Use the session_save path
>function after your session_start() function call to set the session save pth
>to this new shared tmp directory.  There you go.  Load balancing and PHP
>sessions!!
