My web host is globat.com. I looked at the php info and the session.save_handler is set to "files". Will drupal still work? thanks

Drupal comes with a .htaccess file that will change this setting to "user". If it isn't allowed to do this, you'll lose out.

It depends on what features you'll be using. In any case, it is not a good idea. You can change the setting through .htaccess. If .htaccess is not possible (though that means other problems most likely), then you can try adding the following line to conf.php, but I'm not sure if it'll work:

 ini_set('session.save_handler', 'user');

except for your php.ini file you would just write:

session.save_handler = user

on it's own line.
