I'm trying to start the session in a header page in my webiste. But it seems there might be some sort of bug because it fails with the following error:
Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(\xampp\tmp\sess_a7430aab4dd08d5fc0d511f781f41fe5, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in D:\Development\PHP\tt\Include\header.php on line 3
I'm using the default settings for xampp, everything is straight out of the box. For some reason its failing to open the file. however when i go to the directory with the session files in it, the files are there, they are just empty. Is this a bug? or am I doing something wrong?
php version 5.2.8
session_start() creates a session or resumes the current one based on a session identifier passed via a GET or POST request, or passed via a cookie. When session_start() is called or when a session auto starts, PHP will call the open and read session save handlers.
It must be on every page you intend to use. The variables contained in the session—such as username and favorite color—are set with $_SESSION, a global variable. In this example, the session_start function is positioned after a non-printing comment but before any HTML.
session_destroy() function: It destroys the whole session rather destroying the variables. When session_start() is called, PHP sets the session cookie in browser. We need to delete the cookies also to completely destroy the session. Example: This example is used to destroying the session.
Using ajax you can call a php script that refreshes your session every 10 minutes. :) This is as far as i can go to "exact". <? php session_start(); // store session data if (isset($_SESSION['id'])) $_SESSION['id'] = $_SESSION['id']; // or if you have any algo. ?>
First stop the Xampp Server.
session.save_path = "\xampp\tmp"
and change it to look like this
session.save_path = "C:\xampp\tmp"
Restart the Xampp Server.
That’s it now your session should work as expected.
This means that you don't have the correct permissions to either read or write the files in the temp directory.
If you on linux then do this
sudo chmod -R 755 \xampp\tmp //or should it be 775
On windows do this as an administrator
attrib -r -a C:\xampp\tmp /S
