I really like PHP. I think it’s great. Unfortunatley, my relationship with PHP has recently been on the rocks.

First php4 dies on me at the very end of my big Systems project. I might discuss the details of that particular disaster some other time.

Now, php5 has its session save path unset. So I google and look through some boards and finally find a post on the exact same problem and a solution. though jmcneil86043’s solution is listed as being for OS X I figure (correctly in the applicalble respect) that Apache on one *nix system is basically the same as on another *nix system.

So for fear of lost links, here is the solution:

[originally posted by jmcneil86043 at http://forum.mamboserver.com/showthread.php?t=24167]
1) Add the following line to the end of /usr/local/php5/httpd.conf.php: php_value session.save_path “/tmp”
2) Save the file
3) Stop and then start the web server

I really hope that PHP and I will get along better in the future because that hussy ASP.NET has been making eyes at me for a while and I don’t know what I might do if I were felt I had no where go…. Of course, there’s always PERL, but I don’t know if I’m that kinky.

P.S.

Anthropomorphization is fun.
