Sessions

I feel almost silly to ask my question, but I am so frustrated, almost ready to throw my project away. So please don't treat me as an idiot.

The error messages are listed below as are my .ini settings. Maybe its also aomewhere else in php.ini.

Thankyou in anticipation

Kelley.

Does the directory "C:\php\tmp\sess" exist? If not, be sure to create it. PHP will NOT create it for you

yes "C:\php\tmp\sess" does exist.

thankyou

I dont know if this is going to work or not, but can you create a dir called tmp on your c:

c:\tmp

and try that.

Yes Ben that did work, though I am still puzzled as to why. Thankyou very much.

Kelley.

use the force, Kelley.

theres some other option in the php.ini file.

Yes Ben see lots of options in PHP and MySQL and apache and wow do they confuse me, but I will keep plugging away, maybe one day I get it right.

Thankyou for your help and kindness.
