How can the error message "Failed to write session data (files)" be troubleshooted in PHP?

The error message "Failed to write session data (files)" typically occurs when PHP is unable to write session data to the file system due to permission issues. To troubleshoot this, you can check the permissions of the directory where session files are stored and ensure that PHP has write access to it.

// Set the session save path to a directory with correct permissions
session_save_path('/path/to/writable/directory');

// Start the session
session_start();
