Steve .... My laptop is my development server but my production work is
on a public server. I apologize for not giving you a complete
description of what I do ... I set my "session.save_path" on the public
server by creating a TMP directory in my Public_html folder. I've
created an IF THEN ELSE that recognizes whether the code is being
executed on my laptop or at the public server. The entire include() file
is as follows:

<?php
if ($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] == "localhost")
{
session_save_path('c:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\tmp');

} else {
session_save_path('/...xxxxx..../public_html/tmp');

}
?>

Works great ... and the old session files in the public_html/tmp
directory get cleaned out automatically.

Still might not be practical for you for other reasons but I thought I
should give you a more complete answer ...... Jerry
