updating ini params during run time

[Dasndan]

Hi all

I have a drupal installation on my winxp computer that requires that the session save_handler will be on user instead of files. This causes some of my other sites that use the c:\windows\tmp directory as the session repository to fail.

I get "Failed to initialize storage module: user (path: c:\windows\temp)".

I am looking for something simple that enables me to change the  session.save_handler param during run time like:

"session.save_handler='files'".

I looked at the set_save_handler method and it seems to be very complicated and a huge hassle for this small problem.

any ideas?
