First, be very careful; you may accidentally expose your session files to
the web that way! Ensure that such a directory's contents cannot be read and
exposed via the web server.

You're looking for either the ini_set() function in general, or
session_save_path():

http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.session-save-path.php
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php

Be aware that this must be set before the session is opened; so if PHP has
been configured to open sessions automatically, it may be too late. Normally
PHP is not configured that way (check the online documentation for session
settings to see which ones to look for.)
