Saving PHP4 Sessions

[Drek]

These are the relevant entries in my php.ini - at least I think...

session.save_handler = files
session.save_path = /var/tmp/php4

However, when I look in "/var/tmp/php4" it is empty, so somehow the session cache isn't being used. The permissions are Debian's default permissions, 732, but I also tried 777, with the same results. What am I missing?

if it's code you made yourself, i assume you have called the session_start() function. This will put a file in the session path, and if it is the same session will connect to that session for use in that page.

It is PostNuke, so perhaps PostNuke isn't coded to use sessions as files? If that is the case, I am not going to worry about it...

Just had a look on my laptop, and that doesn't seem to be creating any session files either using postnuke. I'd say from that that postnuke doesn't create sessions as i can login fine, and no session files appear in /tmp where the session files do usually appear. I'd say as long as it works fine, dont worry about it!
