I have two sites sitting on a server at work. Both operate using php and mysql. Both have access control. Although; on Friday suddenly the 2nd site no longer wanted to store my session. No can no longer log on and stay logged on as you go from page to page. Very strange since I didn't change anything. I then wrote a simple two file test. The one saving a session variable, the other displaying it. It didn't work when the files where in the directory of the one site, but did work in the other directory of the other.

I did remember all the normal stuff (session_start() and such) but i was wondering if it was a setting in php.ini or something like that. The fact that it does work in one site and not the other aludes to that the php is fine, but not even the session test application works in that directory. The server at work uses IIS (5, i think)

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks

Check permissions for tmp directory (defined in php.ini) where the session files are stored. Make sure the user under which the IIS service runs has write access here.

That might not explain why one site works and the other doesn't, but its a start I guess...
