I'm not sure if my message prompted this action, but if so, I see two problems: 1. I'm sure you can "access" php.ini. The Web server typically runs as an unprivileges user, such as nobody, and it can read php.ini. The output of phpinfo() will let you know where it is, in case you're not sure. 2. I didn't suggest looking for something to be wrong. This is very challenging for anyone who is not very experienced and familiar with the session settings. My recommendation was to compare the old with the new. You mentioned that you observed an undesirable change in behavior after switching to a new server. What were your session settings before? What are they know? What other differences are there? > For example, today, I had the same page open for more than an hour, and > my session code worked well.

Is safe_mode enabled on this server? There are two ways for a session to end: 1. The session has been deleted, timed out, etc. 2. The client fails to identify itself, usually by a cookie named PHPSESSID or by sending PHPSESSID in the URL. Try to use this to help you identify which is causing the problem. Hope that helps.
