session.save_path not set

[mr_mind]

Alright i dont know if this is correct but i have a function that i am implementing to read the session files and see who is online. The problem is "session_save_path()" returns null. I checked in the php.ini and it is remarked out, but the sessions work fine. What i think i need to do is find the default session save path and specify that in the php.ini and then try the function. if not just specify the absolute path in the function instead of using session_save_path(). My question is, what is the default session save path for php 5?

The default session path is any folder you have access to.  Mine is on the same level as my document root called phpsessions.

Could we see the code where you were using session_save_path()

I dont have access to the code right now.

alright well i fixed the problem of the session path not being set but now my function returns 0 users online all the time. Here it is:

 

<?php
function users_online() {
	if(is_dir(session_save_path())) {
		$users_online_max_time = 3;
		$users_online_handle = session_save_path();
		$users_online_count = 0;
		$users_online_files = glob($users_online_handle . "*");
		foreach($users_online_files as $users_online_file) {
			if($users_online_file != '.') {
				if($users_online_file != '..') {
					$script_time = time();
					$file_time = fileatime($users_online_file);
					if(($script_time - $file_time) < $users_online_max_time * 60) {
						$users_online_count++;
					}
				}
			}
		}
		return $users_online_count;
	}
	else {
		return session_save_path();
	}
}
print 'Online Users: ' . users_online(); 
?>
