Do you have a C:\Program Files\xampp\tmp directory wherein sessions can be stored?

C:\Program Files\xampp\tmp - says the directory is incorrect.

I am not sure if this is going to help - but on the previous php threads (2007) they give you rather good advise on fixing your problem. Mine worked after I did what was said there. Look at what you have coded very carefully. Also, you need to read up on page 47 to 49 of your text book. It really does help you.

Am getting more and more confused. All my works are saved at- C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\StudentPHP; but I only find the php.INI-DIST file and php.INI-RECOMMENDED at- C:\Program Files\xampp\php\php4. Is it right? How do I make changes and handle the TMP in- C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\xampp\tmp; as to complete Task 5C. I will appreciate urgent help and guide from here.

As far as I understand you should have:
C:\Program Files\xampp\tmp ****** This is where I found the session files. The session files have long numbers on them which are the "handles" (file address) of the session files*****

I found my ini files in:
C:\program Files\xampp\php4 and the file's name is php.ini

Remember that this is my setup. I cannot see what your setup looks like.

Why don't you search for php.ini on your search disk (Press Start and Search on your windows explorer toolbar?)
Hope this helps a bit?
