    PHP Script Error Help Needed

    I got the following function from one of the PHP websites and I'm
    getting the following error:

    Warning: fileatime(): Stat failed for /tmp\lost+found (errno=2 - No
    such file or directory) in
    /home/rfresh/public_html/whosonline_form .php on line 93

    This is line 93 in the function below:

    if (time()- fileatime(sessi on_save_path() . '\\' . $file) <
    MAX_IDLE_TIME * 60)

    I don't udnerstand the error and therefore what I need to do to
    correct it

    <?php
    /* How long the maximum amount of time the session can be inactive. */
    define("MAX_IDL E_TIME",3);

    /* The Function Declaration */
    function getOnlineUsers( )
    {
    /* Open the directory where PHP stores its session files */
    if ( $directory_hand le = opendir( session_save_pa th() ) )
    {
    $count = 0;
    /* Start reading the files on by one */
    while ( false !== ( $file = readdir( $directory_hand le ) ) )
    {
    /*Check if it is a valid session file */
    if ($file != '.' && $file != '..')
    {
    /* Check to see if the session has not been idle for
    more than 60 minutes */
    if (time()- fileatime(sessi on_save_path() . '\\' .
    $file) < MAX_IDLE_TIME * 60)
    {
    $count++;
    }
    }
    }
    closedir($direc tory_handle);
    return $count;
    }
    else
    {
    return false;
    }
    }

    print 'Number of members currently online: ' . getOnlineUsers( );

    ?>

      The directory separator on Unix is /, not \.

      Even when programming on Windows you're better off using /, since all the
      Windows system calls accept it, and it doesn't conflict with \ as an escape
      character.

          Yes, that was it - thanks Andy.

          BTW - no one should be on this web site yet I get a count of 11 users
          - got any ideas as to why?

              I found out that the session files are kept around on my server (which
              is hosted) and the files are automatically cleaned up (deleted) by PHP
              and that I have no control over them - so this makes the script
              worthless because when I fixed the slashes to forward and ran the
              script I did a print on the sessoion_save_p ath() and saw about 40 to
              50 files and no one was on the site!!! so this means I can't use that
              method to determine who's online!!

              does anyone have any other idea's???
