I am not clear what you mean by this. I have set session_start() on in the php script that logs onto the database initially. i then call a test php script from a button on the menu frame. This is the output it gives:
Test php variables Warning: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at c:\usr\www\my-domain\maintenance.php:4) in c:\usr\www\my-domain\maintenance.php on line 5 Warning: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at c:\usr\www\my-domain\maintenance.php:4) in c:\usr\www\my-domain\maintenance.php on line 5 Warning: open(/tmp\sess_593732809e269f91e78e7406d4a22808, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in c:\usr\www\my-domain\maintenance.php on line 5 Test of global variables DBA USER: DBA Password; Warning: open(/tmp\sess_593732809e269f91e78e7406d4a22808, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in Unknown on line 0 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 The script is: <HTML> <BODY> Test php variables<BR> <?php session_start(); printf ("Test of global variables<BR>"); printf ("DBA USER: ",$_SESSION_VARS["dbauser"],"<BR>"); printf ("<BR>"); printf ("DBA Password; ",$_SESSION_VARS["dbapassword"],"<BR>"); ?> </BODY> </HTML> Is there a problem with how I am using sessiot_start, or is there a php config problem?
