When I changed the session.save_path to a valid subdirectory it did not 
work. I run as a windows admin so permissions was not a problem.

Well, but I knew that I have been running with the session.save_path 
with "no value" since I started playing around with PHP about 4-5 months 
ago. I methodically went through and tried to find the problem based on 
what I have done.

In the last few weeks I upgraded from Apache 2.0.59 to 2.2.4. I also 
added a virtual host for my local stuff and wanted to do this for the 
Eclipse PHP PDT tool. There must have been problems with my Apache 
VirtualHost definitions. I dropped my Apache2 virtual host definitions 
and all work with out the "no value" as before. Sorry to take your time 
and thanks for your guidance.
