Is there a specific reason for this? I mean for register_globals we
understand the risks involved, but why should the short tags not used? Just

I tend to leave /tmp in place for session save path on my windows
installations and create a tmp directory in the root of the webserver's
drive. i.e. if apache is on D:, the /tmp will map to D:\tmp.
