session_save_path

(PHP4 )

session_save_path -- Get and/or set the current session save path

Description

string session_save_path ([string path])

session_save_path() returns the path of the current directory used to save session data. If path is specified, the path to which data is saved will be changed.

Note: On some operating systems, you may want to specify a path on a filesystem that handles lots of small files efficiently. For example, on Linux, reiserfs may provide better performance than ext2fs.

Note: This function was added in PHP 4.0.

The following does not seem to work for win32 PHP4:
<PRE>
$path = session_save_path();
print("Path to sessions is $path
\n");
$path = session_save_path("/temp");
print("Path to sessions is $path
\n");
$path = session_save_path();
</PRE>

The return from the print is always '\tmp'. Further, my temp space is \temp, not \tmp. Sessions did not work until I created \tmp.

Further, \tmp

David ,

I think you should give session_save_path a valid path in win32
,like "c:\temp".

PHP is not able to change windows_drives correctly. that means you've to choose a path on the same drive as your webroot. i've installed php on drive c: and webroot on dirve e:, so my session_save_path has to be also on drive e:

anyone happen to know if you could share sessions between multiple server by having them write the sessions to a shared save path via NFS or something?
