Title:
  session handling 'file' not working with php > 7.0

Status in Mahara:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When trying to upgrade my PHP7.0 to any other version > 7.0 (tried
  7.1, 7.2, 7.3) login to Mahara failed. My setup is Mahoodle
  3.6.3+/19.04 on Ubuntu 16.04.6, Apache 2.4.18, PHP 7.0.33.

  Mahoodle is running since some years using MNet for SSO to Mahara.
  After looking into error.log in this case (php > 7.0) I saw some lines
  saying that session handling was not working as expected:

  session_write_close(): Failed to write session data (files). Please
  verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct
  (3;/var/www/maharadata/sessions) in
  /var/www/mahara-19.04.0/htdocs/auth/session.php on line 520, referer:
  https://moodle.klocker-mark.eu/my/

  Tried to use alternative session handling with redis (3.2.9), not
  working too (using single redis server on localhost:6379), then
  memcache (1.4.25, default config) which worked for php 7.1 (7.2 and
  for 7.3 too, but not stable, sometimes did not). Testing is somewhat
  trick as my browsers needed multiple reloads of the mahara page to
  work.

  So now I am using PHP 7.1 which is working both for moodle and mahara.
