It's just that it appears that your logic is setup in such a way that session_start(); is not being called when you need it be. By putting it before everything else you can avoid this. And as well, is there a reason you wouldn't want to just start the session at the beginning of the page? I mean, why wait till the user has submitted the form to start the session?
