Making Sense Of PHP Errors Have you had bad experiences with PHP errors that made you scratch your head? Share your experiences with fellow devArticler's in this forum thread.

I had this problem and it drove me mad for a whole afternoon because none of my friends could understand why it was going wrong. I ended up reading all about sessions on the php.net site and I found the answer from one of the users comments.

The reason this error appears is because it's trying to save session data to a folder on a server which doesn't exist. You can either create the folder which it's trying to find (c:\tmp) or use the method below:


Locate your php.ini file in your...

c:\windows

...directory.

Find the line which says...

session.save_path = c:\tmp

...and change it to your windows temp folder. My line now looks like this...

session.save_path = c:\windows\temp


I hope this helps fellow php beginners as I had to look high and low for the solution as it doesn't seem to be documented anywhere else.

Illegal offset type

What causes this error?

$result = array(array(""));
while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($res)) {
$x = end($result);
for($i=0;$i<count($row);$i++) $result[$x][$i] = $row[$i];
}

This is the offending code
