Php, session.save_path

I wanted to ask about session.save_path from php.ini file (http://php.net/session.save-path), My question is where is the session is saved if I am not setting any path(;session.save_path =), Is it on my PC memory?, Is it on files that located outside php directory?,So far i see that with session.save_path set, I can view the files, And when session.save_path is unset(http://php.net/session.save-path), I don't know where the files if there is any, If anyone can help me i will be very thankful, Thank you all and have a nice day.

If the option is commented out in your php.ini (as it is in mine), then php will use a default value. I show two quick options to get that value from the command line:

  1. Non interactive:
$ php -i | grep session.save_path
session.save_path => /var/lib/php/sessions => /var/lib/php/sessions
  1. Interactive:
$ php -a
Interactive mode enabled
     
php > echo session_save_path();
/var/lib/php/sessions

php > exit

Default is usually /tmp on linux based servers

session.save_path is set to nothing in phpinfo() if the default setting is being used

phpinfo() is your friend here, in the output you'll find the original (left column) and overridden (right column) session.save_path.
