1. Ensure session.save_path is valid in php.ini (ensure the directory 
exists and that's where you want to save session files)

2. Ensure the IUSR_ user has access to read and write to the 
directory in session.save_path. PHP runs as the IIS user when installed as 
a module, which is the IUSR_ user by default

3. Sessions should work. Run a simple test to find out.

session_start();
$_SESSION['count']++;
echo "You've been here {$_SESSION['count']} times.";
?>
Any issues, let me know.

Hey everyone,
I'm trying to migrate this php app with a mySQL database to IIS/Microsoft
SQL Server.  I know that I should be using a database abstraction layer but
haven't had the time to do that just yet.  In anycase, the question has
little to do with that.  I'm trying to get sessions in php working on IIS
and I've noticed that that needs to be configured manually for IIS.  But
what exactly does that mean? I can't find a good step by step source about
this issue so any help would be greatly appreciated.
thx
Adil.

Hi Adil,

You need to configure session.save_path in php.ini. This setting needs to
point to a directory where the IIS user can write files.

If you are running the ISAPI version of php you also need to restart the
web service for the changes to take place.

I'm pretty sure this is enabled by default in PHP for Windows, I think
you'll need to check the IUSR_[machine_name] persmissions on the
sessions folder. I'm headed in the other direction. I'm re-writing an
app with a database abstraction layer with hopes of moving to
postgres.
