Hi, I have a weird problem with sessions on PHP 4.3.9 + Apache 1.3.33 in Slackware, maybe someone could help me or have had the same problem. I'm getting these messages in my logs: PHP Warning: Unknown(): Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/var/tmp/php) in Unknown on line 0 /var/tmp/php is owned by the user/group Apache is running as, and it has 0700 permissions. This message appears sporadically. I googled but I only got answers related to permissions. This happens with an application which consists in two frames loading distinct scripts. I print the content of one session variable in both frames, let's say: <?php // do many stuff... then: echo $_SESSION['fullname']; ?> The weirdness comes when in one frame the script will print "Agent Smith" while in the other frame of the same frameset the script which loads on it will print "Thomas Anderson"... and the actual full name in the database is "Trinity" (both "Agent Smith" and "Thomas Anderson" are also in the database, related to different logins each one). The session variables get their values from a database, in one point of the login script only, by simple assignment: // query the database to get the full name for $_POST['login'], where // login is unique... then: $_SESSION['fullname'] = $rs['fullname']; I have not been able to determine if the warning message is related to this weird behavior. This behavior shows up sporadically. I'm using this session config in php.ini: session.save_handler = files session.save_path = /var/tmp/php session.use_cookies = 1 session.use_only_cookies = 1 session.name = SID session.auto_start = 1 session.cookie_lifetime = 0 session.cookie_path = / session.cookie_domain = session.serialize_handler = php session.gc_probability = 1 session.gc_divisor = 1000 session.gc_maxlifetime = 7200 session.bug_compat_42 = 1 session.bug_compat_warn = 1 session.referer_check = session.entropy_length = 16 session.entropy_file = /dev/urandom session.cache_expire = 180 session.use_trans_sid = 0 url_rewriter.tags = "a=href,area=href,frame=src,input=src,form=fakeentry" The client browser has been MSIE 6.0 in all cases. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance. Rodolfo. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
