sesstion problem

[codefighta]

Hi,

From time to time (no noticable pattern) I get this warning message on a page of my php app:

Notice: session_start(): ps_files_cleanup_dir: opendir(C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\) failed: Invalid argument (22) in c:\inetpub\[URL unfurl="true"]wwwroot\intranet\fccm\include\patUser.php[/URL] on line 465

The line of code this message is refering to looks like this:

461if( $this->useSessions )
462{
463  if( !defined( "SID" ) )
464  {
465  session_start();
466  }
     .
     .
     .

in my php.ini I have this:

session.save_path = "c:\windows\temp"

C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\ is a valid directory on the server and the sessions are really stored there (but they do not seem to be cleaned up)

Garbage collection settings in php.ini are as follows (defaults)

; Define the probability that the 'garbage collection' process is started
; on every session initialization.
; The probability is calculated by using gc_probability/gc_divisor,
; e.g. 1/100 means there is a 1% chance that the GC process starts
; on each request.

session.gc_probability = 1
session.gc_divisor     = 100

; After this number of seconds, stored data will be seen as 'garbage' and
; cleaned up by the garbage collection process.
session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440

Any ideas?
Thanks

Note: If you want to see if a variable exists, use isset() as defined() only applies to constants.

DaButcher, thanks for the hint!

The code I listed is 3rd party code and I am not 100% sure what is going on there, but would it make sense that the "SID" in

if( !defined( "SID" ) )

is checking whether there is a PHP session ID (SID) is defined or not? In my php.ini file I have this

; Name of the session (used as cookie name).
session.name = PHPSESSID

So I guess I have to change PHPSESSID to SID?

Thanks

SID is the SESSION id...

try this:

<?=SID?>

Hello DaButcher,

I have changed my php.ini file from

session.name = PHPSESSID
to
session.name = SID

(and restarted IIS) But the problem still occurs. Any other ideas?
thanks
