OK, I've read every message on the list for the last year that contains 'sessions'. I've read through (bleary eyed, admittedly) http://us2.php.net/session. And I swear, honest, that I had this working on another box (which is no longer available to me.) I've checked phpinfo - session support is on, session.use_cookie is On. PHP 5.1.6 or thereabouts. <?php session_start(); session_save_path('/home/rob//Sites/zphpsessions'); echo 'sessionid:'.session_id().':<br>'; echo 'save path:'.session_save_path().':<br>'; $ip = ' '.$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; echo '$ip is:'.$ip.':<br>'; $_SESSION['ipx']=$ip; echo 'ipx (session) is:'.$_SESSION['ipx'].':<br>'; if (!isset($_SESSION['ipx'])) echo 'whoa nelly'; echo 'This is the main page'; ?> Output looks like this: sessionid:8klvud4o186lme7n6v84lhfjl2: save path:/home/rob/Sites/zphpsessions: $ip is: 127.0.0.1: ipx (session) is: 127.0.0.1: This is the main page No data is being dumped into /home/rob/Sites/zphpsessions. The best I can guess is permissions. If I change save_path to /tmp, no difference - still nothing being written there. I bet I'm doing something ignorant about apache users or something, huh? -- RE, Chicago
