PHP open_basedir error

Been trying to install php today and I ran into this problem when trying to launch my website:

PHP Warning:  session_start(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(C:\Windows\TEMP) is not within the allowed path(s): (C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\website) in C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\website\bootstrap.php on line 21

I have set my php.ini to the following settings:

open_basedir = "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\website\"

and

upload_tmp_dir = "C:\Windows\TEMP\"

I tried changing the directory for upload_temp_dir to C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\website\temp but the error keeps telling me that C:\Windows\TEMP is not valid - even though I changed the dir.

Any ideas? Thanks.

EDIT:

Now I am getting:

PHP Warning:  session_start(): open(C:\Windows\TEMP\\sess_ca0ea257d89dfecd355e375071e30d7e, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\website\bootstrap.php on line 21

PHP Warning: Unknown: open(C:\Windows\TEMP\sess_ca0ea257d89dfecd355e375071e30d7e, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in Unknown on line 0 PHP Warning: Unknown: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (C:\Windows\TEMP) in Unknown on line 0

NOTE: I had to remove the quotes from the open_basedir path on Windows 10, PHP 7.3 (in the php.ini file)

Does not work: open_basedir = "C:\Windows\TEMP\;C:\Some\Other\Path\"

Works open_basedir = C:\Windows\TEMP\;C:\Some\Other\Path\

open_basedir limits the files that can be opened by PHP within a directory-tree.

You should config session.save-path to some path inside

C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\website\

Or add the session directory to the list of folders that PHP script can access

session.save-path = "C:\Windows\TEMP\"

open_basedir = "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\website\;C:\Windows\TEMP\"
