I'm not a 100% sure but I think sessions only work with php compiled as an
apache module... could be wrong on that though. However, I do remember
reading something somewhere about that.
Anyway, have you checked that PHP was compiled with sessions tracking and
that cookies are enabled in your browser. You can do a phpinfo() to see if
PHP has been compiled with session support. I had errors as well until I
included --enable-trans-sid and --enable-track-vars.
Also, check to make sure that the sessions_save_path is valid and exists.
Check your php.ini file for the current setting.
Another way is to use phplib.

Subject: [PHP-INST] Configuring Sessions In PHP
I apologize if this already made it to the list, but as far as I can tell
it did not. I am trying to use PHP 4.0.4pl1 with Windows 98 SE and
Personal Web Server 4.x (not sure exactly which version). So far
everything seems good, except when I try to add the line session_start() to
a PHP page I get an error. Are there some settings I need to add to
php.ini to get this to work? I am using php.exe. Any help that could be
offered would be much appreciated. Thank you.

The windows binaries will do sessions for you.
In php.ini you need to do a few things in the sessions bit. Here's the
relevant part of my php.ini:
session.save_handler = files ; handler used to store/retrieve data
session.save_path = F:\php\sessiontmp ; argument passed to
save_handler
; in the case of files, this is the
; path where data files are stored
session.use_cookies = 0 ; whether to use cookies
session.name = PHPSESSID
; name of the session
; is used as cookie name
session.auto_start = 0 ; initialize session on request startup
session.cookie_lifetime = 0 ; lifetime in seconds of cookie
; or if 0, until browser is restarted
session.cookie_path = / ; the path the cookie is valid for
session.cookie_domain = ; the domain the cookie is valid for
session.serialize_handler = php ; handler used to serialize data
; php is the standard serializer of PHP
session.gc_probability = 1 ; percentual probability that the
; 'garbage collection' process is
started
; on every session initialization
session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440 ; after this number of seconds, stored
; data will be seen as 'garbage' and
; cleaned up by the gc process
session.referer_check = ; check HTTP Referer to invalidate
; externally stored URLs containing ids
session.entropy_length = 0 ; how many bytes to read from the file
session.entropy_file = ; specified here to create the session
id
; session.entropy_length = 16
; session.entropy_file = /dev/urandom
session.cache_limiter = nocache ; set to {nocache,private,public} to
; determine HTTP caching aspects
session.cache_expire = 180 ; document expires after n minutes

Example: You can create a php file a include a file as long as that file
resides in the same directory as the include file. Test it Create a /test
directory under your sitename/web dir and make a file with <? phpinfo(); ?>
in it. name it info.php and save it in the test dir. then in your web
folder create a file with <? include ("test/info.php"); ?> and name it
test.php save it in web. Now you get an error like unable to include
info.php at inclusion: './' I've look for days how to fix this.. I found it
once somewhere and cant find it again. I have tried to add the paths to the
php.ini and restarted apache no change. I found something on script alias
or include directives in an htaccess file

________________________________
There is no such thing as a problem, unless the servers are on fire
when I try and restart apache, it won't load PHP. There were no errors during
compile. When I run apachectl configtest, I get the following error:
Cannot load /usr/local/apache/libexec/libphp4.so into server:
/usr/local/apache/libexec/libphp4.so: undefined symbol: uncompress
Is there a library or something that I'm missing?
Thank you!

I need some help here. I need to configure PHP 4 with support for all of
the following:
Apache
MySQL Database
GD (Graphics Support)
JPEG
PNG
True Type Fonts
Can anyone help me with a configuration line? I have tried:
./configure --with-apxs --with-mysql --with-gd=/usr/lib --with-freetype
And I get the following error:
checking whether to include GD support... configure: error: Unable to
find libgd
.(a|so) anywhere under /usr/lib
although BOTH libgd.so AND libgd.a are found under /usr/lib.
Can anyone help me? I am using a Cobalt RaQ 4 which uses a port of
Redhat Linux.

Hello,
I'm getting the following error when installing php with mysql & xml
support. I had previously installed without xml support and it was all
good.
ext/xml/.libs/libxml.al(xml.lo): In function `get_module':
/usr/src/php-4.0.4pl1/ext/xml/xml.c:60: multiple definition of
`get_module'
ext/mysql/.libs/libmysql.al(php_mysql.lo):/usr/src/php-4.0.4pl1/ext/mysql/php_mysql.c:159:
first defined here
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [libphp4.la] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/php-4.0.4pl1'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
On line 60 of xml.c is the following:
ZEND_GET_MODULE(xml)
On line 159 of php_mysql is the following:
ZEND_GET_MODULE(mysql)
Has anyone encountered a similar problem or has any idea how to fix this? Thanks in
advance!

I also have the problem described by Jason, or a somewhat similar
one. The MySQL command line monitor works fine, but when
php mysql functions are called from a script I get
Can't connect to local MySQL server
through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock'
which is kind of odd because in the process of getting
PHP4 installed, I removed and reinstalled MySQL, and changed
the layout in the process: the mysql directory
was moved from /var/lib to /usr/local/mysql/var
and PHP4 was configured with '--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql'
... so I don't know why php appears to be referring
to /var/lib/mysql at all.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Paul N.

Most installscripts will leave things like configfiles untouched. If you
build from source you should copy the distributed INI file to a useful
place. You probably didn't take this last step. Take a look a
www.devshed.com for an instruction on how to setup MySQL, PHP and Apache.
Your old config file has the old location you could alter this manually.
Change the location of mysql.sock and restart apache. Use Pico or your
favorite text editor to edit your php.ini
Although I didn't try it myself (no need to do so since my favorite distro
doesn't install anything I don't want it to) I think you should be fine
after changing the php.ini file.

Yes, I wouldn't be surprised if the problem is an existing
configfile, but I don't know which one. The location
of mysql.sock isn't specified or implied in php.ini, so
far as I can see.
Configuring mysql with
--with-unix-socket-path=/usr/local/mysql/var/mysql.sock
doesn't seem to make any difference either.
