Guys, there seems to be an issue with .md5 encryption used, remove that and it works all fine!!!

The error is (note I edited the path a little just for privacy):
PHP Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/var/php_sessions/) failed: No such file or directory (2) in /hermes/bosweb/web256/b2562/demo/demo.php on line 16
PHP Warning: Unknown: open(/var/php_sessions) failed: No such file or directory (2) 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 (/var/php_sessions) in Unknown on line 0

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Not really a big problem for those with intermediate PHP skills but way out there for the new guys…

Keep the tutorials coming please – but such large numbers of errors really distracts from the undoubted usefulness of this script.

This is a fantastic script, its very help to me..
Good job you have been done.:-)
Thanks a lot..!

thx.

PS: Martin thanks again for this wonderfull thing
