Greetings,
I am trying to do some simple session stuff. However it does not seem
as though the session variable is being created for my site. I am
running the latest version of PHP and apache that I installed as part
of WAMP. Machine is XP SP2.

Basically I am trying to do something simple such as:

<?php

// initialize a session
session_start();

// increment a session counter
$_SESSION['counter']++;

// print value
echo "You have viewed this page " . $_SESSION['counter'] . " times";

?>

However my counter does not increment. I can also not see where any
sort of cookie has been created within IE, although firefox shows the
following:

Name: PHPSESSID
Content: 4s0n98f1s7jea6kg11psi4ckd3
Host: 10.0.0.15
Path: /
Send for: Any type of connection
Expires: at end of session

I am not sure about the Path: variable though. The address for my site
is 10.0.0.15/recipe

physical is C:\wamp\www\recipe

Here are some of the contents of my php.ini file:

[Session]
session.save_handler = files

session.save_path = "C:\Windows\temp "

session.use_cookies = 1

session.name = PHPSESSID

session.auto_start = 0

session.cookie_lifetime = 0

session.cookie_path = /

session.cookie_domain =

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
