session_set_cookie_params and session_save_path

[turnitup]

I seem to be able to get these to work separately, but not together.

So if I do

session_save_path("/blah/blah/")

it saves my sessions to that path.

but if I follow it by
session_set_cookie_params(nnnn, "/blah/blah/")

it breaks session_start.

however

session_set_cookie_params(nnnn);
session_start();

works fine!!

Is there something I am doing wrong, or is there a workaround?
Basically, I need a system which allows a browser to sit idle for a
number of hours for what is an intranet application, but I need my
sessions stored to a specific location.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance

You've possibly misunderstood the "path" parameter on
session_set_cookie_params - it's the URL path prefix for which the cookie
applies - corresponding to the path parameter on setcookie() - it is not the
session save path.

The client sends cookies to pages in "http://www.yourserver.com/blah/blah"
but the script where you call session_start() is not in that directory,
so it never receives a session id from the client.

however

session_set_cookie_params(nnnn);

Unless you changed `session.cookie_path` in php.ini, this is the
same as

session_set_cookie_params(nnnn, '/');

session_start();

works fine!!

The client and the server are in synch! :)

Do not use session_set_cookie_params(), or, if you must, keep it short
and omit the 'path` parameter.
