[FX.php List] [API] How to monitor session in FileMaker PHP

[Andrew Denman]

Jonathan,

Even though the php.ini file says the save_path directive must be set, my Zend install of PHP on Windows saves the sessions in a temp folder in the PHP installation directory, so there must be some other setting it is looking at that I haven't found.

Places I would check for the session files are a temp folder in the PHP installation folder, the C:\Windows\temp folder, or whichever folder is set in the TEMP system variable (My Computer > Properties > Advanced > Environment Variables > System Variables).  The session files have names like 'sess_1ebeb3gptijgae5ul1amhre3j5', where the characters after the underscore are the session ID. I guess you could also search for files named 'sess_*' and see what shows up.

Or...maybe I have it wrong.  Is the session data only stored in 
memory?  That would explain why I can't find physical files.

Thanks Michael,

Actually, I was referring to PHP sessions.  You 
know...session_start(); $_SESSION['CustomerID']; etc.

They are supposed to be stored in the directory indicated in the 
info.php.  But mine shows none.
