I have played with this and it looks a good idea on paper
but have not been successful in practice. If this is not
going to work easily, lets remove the option for session.save_handler
tis a silly idea.

Care to elaborate?
It work(ed) just fine.  It may not be the fastest thing in the world,
but not every application requires raw speed.

It works fine, but like SQLite has limitations on scalability.

When using session.save_handler=files all works fine using /tmp
If this is changed to sqlite, I get errors cannot write to /tmp

Kind regards

Then maybe you should try specifying the path to the file that you
want it to create, rather than the dir in which to create it.

Please use php-general@lists.php.net for such questions.
If something doesn't work for you, your first thought should be "what am I doing wrong" and not "this thing doesn't work and must go".
