[SOLVED] PHP4 Sessions

[Voldemort]

(Yes, I've searched and searched everywhere for a solution to this)

 

I just coded a chatbox/tagbox and an admin system, but when I AddType'd it to PHP4 instead of the usualy PHP5, the admin system doesn't work. It works with a session, started immediately at the top of the page with no whitespace or printed lines whatsoever.

 

It's on PHP4.4.4, Apache 1.3.37

 

Code works fine in PHP5, but I wanted to make sure it would work on servers without it.

you don't have permission to write to /tmp so the session cannot save the information. Set your session_save_path to a location you have write permissions.

Okay, I know that I have to do session_save_path("home/.../regular/tmp") but how can I make it so anyone who downloads it doesn't have to modify the script?

Argh... can't edit the last post.

 

This code, placed before the staart_session, worked:

 

<?php
error_reporting(0);
@chmod("./tmp", 0777);
$path = str_replace("admin.php","tmp",$_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']);
session_save_path($path);
session_start();
