Help with sessions

[BuzzParker]

If I use the default directory in the php.ini (C:\PHP\sessiondata) my session works fine. If I set the path to a different dir (cgi-bin\tmp) it writes the session file there properly but puts nothing in it.

 

I need to be able to define the dir when I take the program to my Internet Provider. They give you a special dir. I have tried it and get the same results as above.

 

I have made sure the dir is not read only and have even shared it on my system to no avail.

 

Not sure what to try next.

 

Any Idea?

 

TIA

 

My code.

 

session_save_path("cgi-bin\tmp");

@session_start();

echo "save path = " . session_save_path();
