what's weird is that if i set session.save_handler = mm, i obviously don't get the file error, but it still won't work.
here's another example of what i've tried... mars:~/apache/htdocs/test.radom.org$ cat test.php <? // create a new session session_start(); // register a session-variable session_register("bgcolor"); // Assign a value to the session-variable $bgcolor = "#8080ff"; ?> <html> <head> <title>Session Example #1</title> </head> <body bgcolor="<?=$bgcolor?>" text="#000000" link="#000000" vlink="#000000" alink="#000000"> Welcome to a session-enabled page! The background color on the next page will be set to a stylish blue.<p> <a href = "test2.php">Go to another session-enabled page</a>. </body> </html> and mars:~/apache/htdocs/test.radom.org$ cat test2.php <? // Resume session created in Listing 1-2 session_start(); ?> <html> <head> <title>Session Example #1</title> </head> <body bgcolor="<?=$bgcolor?>" text="#000000" link="#808040" vlink="#606060" alink="#808000"> <? // Retrieve SID from cookie. print "Your SID is $PHPSESSID <br>"; // Display the value of the $bgcolor variable. print "The persistent background color is: $bgcolor."; ?> argggh! * dan radom ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: > I've just tried that. /foo is owned by nobody and is mode 777. there's 135M >available on that partition. > > * Shane Wright ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > > Hash: SHA1 > > > > Hi > > > > This may sound silly - but is there enough free disk space on whatever > > partition /tmp is mounted on? > > > > Alternatively, as a workaround, you could create a new directory and give the > > web server user permission to write to it and tell PHP to save sessions > > there.
