SESSION MANAGEMENT on my computer?

AJ · Nov 20, 2000 17:57

is it possible to run session management on your computer?
i.e. running SAMBAR server, and PHP4.
I am creating an advertising system which needs this, and therefore I need to test it!
Thanks.

Sure it doesn't have much to do with the server but more to do with PHP. run phpinfo() and make sure the session functions are available. Then you should be able to run it, are you running into a specific problem?

Yep, if you use PHP4 or PHP3 with PHP LIB you can run it as you would on the web server.

Right.
Well, thankyou for confirming that for me. I thought you would be able to, but wasn't sure.

Now, the reason why I am asking, is because I have the following error in my script:

Code:

Warning: open(/tmp/sess_eea81f98dd0422f12d567bce5159c228, O_RDWR) failed: m (2) in C:/PROGRAMMING/eliter/advertsys/index.php on line 4

I have no idea what this means. Then, at the end, I get :

Code:

Warning: open(/tmp/sess_eea81f98dd0422f12d567bce5159c228, O_RDWR) failed: m (2) in Unknown on line 0

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

However, there is probably an error in the script.
I have sort of taken some of it from a user management script, because I really DO NOt get session management.
SO I reckon loads of it is wrong, it is:

Code:

<?php
$sessiontimeout = "900";

session_start();
session_register("SESSION");
if (! isset($SESSION)) {
$SESSION["sessionstart"] = time();
$SESSION["nicestart"] = date("m-d-Y H:i:s",$SESSION["sessionstart"]);
$SESSION["lastaccessed"] = $SESSION["sessionstart"];
$SESSION["expires"] = $SESSION["sessionstart"] + $sessiontimeout;
$SESSION["loggedin"] = 0;
$SESSION["logintries"] = 0;
$SESSION["remote_addr"] = $REMOTE_ADDR;
} elseif ($SESSION["expires"] > time()) {
$SESSION["lastaccessed"] = time();
$SESSION["expires"] = $SESSION["lastaccessed"] + $sessiontimeout;
} else {
session_destroy();
unset($SESSION);
session_start();
session_register("SESSION");
$SESSION["sessionstart"] = time();
$SESSION["nicestart"] = date("m-d-Y H:i:s",$SESSION["sessionstart"]);
$SESSION["lastaccessed"] = $SESSION["sessionstart"];
$SESSION["expires"] = $SESSION["sessionstart"] + $sessiontimeout;
$SESSION["loggedin"] = 0;
$SESSION["logintries"] = 0;
$SESSION["remote_addr"] = $REMOTE_ADDR;
}
?>

Yes the default setting for the session file dir is set to /tmp a unix setting, you need to open your php.ini file and find the line that says
session.save_path /tmp

and change it to

c:\tmp

Of course maknig sure to create a dir named c:\tmp on your hard drive

That way you will a valid place to store the session data
