    I am using session in my form and i have tried using these code example for session.

    I get this code at this website: http://www.tizag.com/phpT/phpsessions.php

    <?php
    session_start();
    $_SESSION['views'] = 1; // store session data
    echo "Pageviews = ". $_SESSION['views']; //retrieve data
    ?>

    the output supposedly should just has Pageviews = 1. but i receive this error.
    the error that i get is this: PHP Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: No such file or directory (2) in Unknown on line 0 PHP Warning: Unknown: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (C:/ <the path name of the folder>) in Unknown on line 0.

    what does this error means n how can i solve this error?

    Are you on windows? The error message is very much self explanatory.
    Check php.ini and find the session.save_path. Make sure that the file mentioned exists and is writable.
