sessions warnings?

[seetz10]

I want to be able to use sessions but i get warnings.

here is a little script i tried to execute

<?php 

session_start(); 
session_register('hits');
++$hits;


?>


this page has been viewed <?= $hits ?> times.

these are the warnings i get.

Warning: open(/tmp\sess_7cb6a9c6525ddd5d2570f563aab3f56b, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\hits.php on line 3

Warning: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/tmp) in Unknown on line 0


can anyone tell me what the problem is and how can i fix it.

i am using php version 4.2.3

And have you checked that the setting for session.save_path is correct and points to an existing directory in which PHP has writing rights?

I am unsure where to check. Where is the path that i need to change? is it to point to the htdocs folder where all my php files are saved?

Look in the php.ini file for session.save_path and change that to wherever. I've got mine set to my temporary internet files.
