Question

I am getting error like below and how to fix it

error for adodb library ...\adodb\session\adodb-session2.php on line 465.

Recoverable fatal error: session_module_name(): Cannot set 'user' save handler by ini_set() or session_module_name()

Answer 1

Please go to the php file

db-functions-adodb.inc.php

and comment or remove the following line of code

ini_set('session.save_handler', 'user');

Answer 2

I found a bug report in the PHP website about this one.

The fact is that it was removed because it was not useful. Instead, you are expected to call the session_set_save_handler() function and if you think about it, that's enough for clearly showing the intend.

So verify that your application does indeed call session_set_save_handler() if you want to make sure that the user mode is selected. As for that specific ini_set() line, you can just comment it out as Lakshmi said in his answer.
