can someone plz tell me what this means my chamod is set at 777

It means the 'wipit' key doesn't exist (i.e. $_GET['wipit'].  Show us the relevant code.

this what i have

 

//// W.I.P.I.T ///

$thisWipit = $_POST['thisWipit'];

$sessWipit = base64_decode($_SESSION['wipit']);

//

if (!isset($_SESSION['wipit']) || !isset($_SESSION['idx'])) {

    echo  'Error: Your session expired from inactivity. Please <a href="index.php">click here to refresh it.</a>.';

        exit();

}

//

if ($sessWipit != $thisWipit) {

echo  'Your session expired from inactivity. Please <a href="index.php">click here to refresh it.</a>.';

    exit();

}

//

if ($thisWipit == "") {

echo  'Error: Missing Data... click back in your browser please.';

    exit();

}

 

and it will not save any changes  to the site

These two lines....

 

$thisWipit = $_POST['thisWipit'];
$sessWipit = base64_decode($_SESSION['wipit']);

 

Need to go within a conditional that checks these indexes actually exist first.

Change your first two lines to

 

if(isset($_POST['thisWipit'])) {
$thisWipit = $_POST['thisWipit'];
}
if(isset($_SESSION['wipit'])) {
$sessWipit = base64_decode($_SESSION['wipit']);
}

ok i changed it and the error message changed to this

 

Error: Your session expired from inactivity. Please click here to refresh it..

Warning: Unknown: open(/var/php_sessions/sess_3de4e02762954e7374d7d82caccb3898, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in Unknown on line 0

 

Warning: Unknown: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/var/php_sessions) in Unknown on line 0

 

 

here is some of my code

 

 

if (isset($_POST['parse_var'])){

 

//// W.I.P.I.T ///

if(isset($_POST['thisWipit'])) {

$thisWipit = $_POST['thisWipit'];

}

if(isset($_SESSION['wipit'])) {

$sessWipit = base64_decode($_SESSION['wipit']);

}

//

if (!isset($_SESSION['wipit']) || !isset($_SESSION['idx'])) {

    echo  'Error: Your session expired from inactivity. Please <a href="index.php">click here to refresh it.</a>.';

        exit();

}

//

if ($sessWipit != $thisWipit) {

echo  'Your session expired from inactivity. Please <a href="index.php">click here to refresh it.</a>.';

    exit();

}

//

if ($thisWipit == "") {

echo  'Error: Missing Data... click back in your browser please.';

    exit();

}

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

// ------- PARSING PICTURE UPLOAD ---------

if ($_POST['parse_var'] == "pic"){

 

        if (!$_FILES['fileField']['tmp_name']) {

 

            $error_msg = '<font color="#FF0000">ERROR: Please browse for an image before you press submit.</font>';

 

        } else {

 

            $maxfilesize = 51200; // 51200 bytes equals 50kb

            if($_FILES['fileField']['size'] > $maxfilesize ) {

 

                        $error_msg = '<font color="#FF0000">ERROR: Your image was too large, please try again.</font>';

                        unlink($_FILES['fileField']['tmp_name']);

 

            } else if (!preg_match("/\.(gif|jpg|png)$/i", $_FILES['fileField']['name'] ) ) {

 

                        $error_msg = '<font color="#FF0000">ERROR: Your image was not one of the accepted formats, please try again.</font>';

                        unlink($_FILES['fileField']['tmp_name']);

 

            } else {

 

                        $newname = "image01.jpg";

                        $place_file = move_uploaded_file( $_FILES['fileField']['tmp_name'], "members/$id/".$newname);

                        $success_msg = '<font color="#009900">Your image has been updated, it may take a few minutes for the changes to show... please                                                    be patient.</font>';

            }

    }

}

You will need to speak to your host about this error. You don't have permission to write to the session directory.

 

Your still going to have issues with your code. Here:

 

if ($sessWipit != $thisWipit) {
      echo  'Your session expired from inactivity. Please <a href="index.php">click here to refresh it.</a>.';
       exit();
}

 

If $sessWipit wasn't defined in the conditional that checks for $_POST['thisWipit'] your code will error. Your entire piece of code needs to be wrapped in that conditional.
