sessions stopped working

rondog · August 16, 2007

for some reason my sessions aren't working anymore. It was working a week ago just fine. I never changed anything, but now nobody can login. I restarted my server and still no luck. I cleared out my tmp folder that holds my sessions..when I try and login, its suppose to take you to art.php and It returns 'you must be logged in to view that page' meaning you aren't logged in. Also there isnt anything in the tmp folder once I try and login which leads me to believe its a session issue. Here is my code for my login page.

<?php
session_start();
?>

I think I figured it out..I was looking at my phpinfo file and noticed this:

Configuration File (php.ini) Path C:\WINNT

Loaded Configuration File C:\php\php.ini

Now a week ago the loaded config file was C:\WINNT\php.ini

I have no understanding as to why it randomly changed, but I copied my ini file from the winnt dir and pasted it in the php folder and it started working again. Any reason why it would change the path like that?
