no session_start()

Hi everyone,

This is my last hope, because no one seems to know the answer to my problem.

The start of my page is this;

<?php

session_cache_limiter('private');
$cache_limiter = session_cache_limiter();

session_cache_expire(30);
$cache_expire = session_cache_expire();

session_start();

?>

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-au">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Client Login</title>

followed by the rest of the page, then on top of the page when it runs is;

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /home/********/public_html/login.php:1) in /home/********/public_html/login.php on line 9

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/********/public_html/login.php:1) in /home/********/public_html/login.php on line 9

Yet, I can still write session data and read it..etc. And I get a warning still if I even try to kill the session...so I don't know. I've also tried putting the code after the page's <head> and retyping the command to right under the <?php command.

If ANYONE can help me, it would be a godsend.

Thank you.

Try to buffer the output:
at the start of your program:[php]
ob_start();
.............
....... prog code php
.........
ob_end_flush;
?>[/php]

I had a similar problem that I didn't ever solve involving writing headers so I'll be interested in the solution.

In the remote chance that it helps, I had another problem involving the default session cookie that is supposed to expire when the browser closes. It did expire but when I moved my application from one directory to another, I could not access the page any longer and IE flagged it as a security violation.

After much head scratching I simply deleted the supposedly expired PHP session cookie that had been created and that cleared up the problem.

So if your application with these headers ever DID work and you have moved it perhaps my experience will help you track down the solution.

cheers
