How can the error "Failed to initialize storage module: user (path: php_sessions)" be resolved when saving sessions in MySQL?

The error "Failed to initialize storage module: user (path: php_sessions)" indicates that the PHP session storage module is unable to initialize due to incorrect configuration. To resolve this issue when saving sessions in MySQL, you need to update the session.save_path directive in the php.ini file to point to the correct directory where sessions should be stored. 

<?php
// Update the session save path to store sessions in MySQL
ini_set('session.save_handler', 'user');
ini_set('session.save_path', 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=session_database');

// Start the session
session_start();

// Your PHP code here
?>
