If I wanted to put the equivalent of "php_value session.save_path '/tmp' " into LocalSettings.php

with /tmp being a writable subdirectory of the directory LocalSettings.php is in, what would I add?

First, be very careful; you may accidentally expose your session files to the web that way! Ensure that such a directory's contents cannot be read and exposed via the web server.

You're looking for either the ini_set() function in general, or session_save_path():

http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.session-save-path.php http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php

Be aware that this must be set before the session is opened; so if PHP has been configured to open sessions automatically, it may be too late. Normally PHP is not configured that way (check the online documentation for session settings to see which ones to look for.)
