It means that data (page output) was already sent to the c;ient browser
before the session_start command is given.

Ths ession_start command should appear before any output is done,
usually at the top of the script.

Not exactly. It means that the session_start() call was sent after
output (as you said) and in the php.ini file, session.use_only_cookies
is set to true.

So, the solution: move the session_start() call to the top (recommended)
or change session.use_only_cookies to be 0.

Well this actually means that the some sort of data is already sent to
the client browser before session_start has been called. So you can do
one thing, make sure you do not have any print, echo statements before
session_start. It can not be even a blank html line.

hope this helps.
