I've got both MySQL and PHP working independantly on my Linux web server. That is, I can view PHP web pages via Apache and I can access MySQL from the command line, set up databases, tables, etc. What I can't do is get them working together. When trying to make a connection in the usual way: $

[PHP] Problems with sessions

2003-02-07 Thread John Almberg
I've got an odd problem . . . I've got a PHP site (PHP 4.2.2, Apache 1.3.26, Linux box) that uses sessions to track a user_id for each user. I use the user_id to grant various rights. This works like a dream 95% of the time. But every once in awhile, the session information gets lost. It's so r

Howdy, You should be able to read this file using the file system functions. The PHP process (if it is set up properly) should have read access to this directory. The problem you will have is *writing* it to your own directory, as the PHP process probably *doesn't* have write access to your direc

Whoopee!!! After two days of propeller-spinning, I finally uploaded a file successfully!!! I had to use an FTP connection to do it, because my PHP process didn't have permission to write files to my directory, but that's fine. Here's the code snippet that worked the trick, with my servername/us

Hi Adam, thanks for your quick repsonse. I'm just renting space on a (Linux/Apache) server, so I don't have any control over how PHP is configured on the machine. Perhaps there is a way for me to change my 'local' PHP configuration? I don't know much about this aspect of PHP, obviously. I'm just
