Has anyone experienced using sessions on readyhosting?

[luxe]

Ok guys....Im trying to upload a login onto my client's webhost readyhosting...and they require the following session config:

 

session_save_path("your home directory path"/cgi-bin/tmp);

session_start();

 

Log into the PHP Scripting page for actual path to your home directory. Replace "your home directory path" with the path shown.

Set session_save_path to a directory within your cgi-bin: either /cgi-bin/tmp as in the example above or another directory as long as the absolute path is correct.  I do have the home directory path as well.

 

I currently have this as code

<?php

 

if (!isset($_SESSION)) {

  session_start();

}

 

$loginFormAction = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

if (isset($_GET['accesscheck'])) {

  $_SESSION['PrevUrl'] = $_GET['accesscheck'];

}

 

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

  $loginUsername=$_POST['username'];

  $password=$_POST['pwd'];

  $MM_fldUserAuthorization = "";

  $MM_redirectLoginSuccess = "index2.php";

  $MM_redirectLoginFailed = "index.php";

  $MM_redirecttoReferrer = false;

  mysql_select_db($database_arborConn, $arborConn);

 

  $LoginRS__query=sprintf("SELECT user_name, user_pass FROM users WHERE user_name=%s AND user_pass=%s",

    GetSQLValueString($loginUsername, "text"), GetSQLValueString($password, "text"));

 

  $LoginRS = mysql_query($LoginRS__query, $arborConn) or die(mysql_error());

  $loginFoundUser = mysql_num_rows($LoginRS);

  if ($loginFoundUser) {

    $loginStrGroup = "";

   

 

When I do edit it according to the instructions, I get a syntax error.  I can't simply change the php.ini file because they dont permit it, I've even tried htaccess to no avail.  I got this working on another server... http://dconstruct.net/test.php  the session_save_path is set to "no value" vs. "c:\php5\sessiondata" of the server that it isn't working on.

 

Please...help....so tired...

lets see this error

i only know its a syntax error because I get a blank page, I dont think I can turn on error checking because I have no access to the php.ini file.

 

I think that's why they want me to re-route the save_session_path in the first place.

sounds like you need a new host if they can't do the config themselves.

 

You can move error reporting up on a single page using the http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.error-reporting.php

 

should give u a better idea

yeah, i know...but this is a client's host...  :'(

hmm you could do a work around using a secondary server, but odds are that won't get you very far, talk to the host if its erroring on a request made by them it shoul be fixed, otherwise turn up error reporting and try and get the error the only logical thing i can see is the folder you are attempting to write sessions to is not a writable folder

Post the syntax error.

ok thanks, I'll see what I can do here....but I've searched all night last night for any clues and nothing.  Can't talk to the host...because I don't know the reseller's city of birth...haha... hasn't gotten back to me yet.
