sessions in PHP 5

[DREW]

Hi Guys,

Is there an alternative to session_start() for php5 it throws an error when I use it using v5

Cheers,
Drew

What error do you get?

[DREW]

Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to initialize storage module: user (path: /tmp)

Try changing your current php.ini settings for session.save_handler user to session.save_handler files.

Edit your php.ini file from:

[Session]
; Handler used to store/retrieve data.
session.save_handler = user

to

[Session]
; Handler used to store/retrieve data.
session.save_handler = files



If you do not have access to the php.ini file, you may try an alternate .htaccess rewrite method.

Edit your .htaccess and place the following lines:

RewriteEngine On
php_value session.save_handler files
