RE: problem with starting a session

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



To make it little more clear, always write session_start() on the top of the page. Because if you output some thing to the browser without starting a session will show you these kind of error.

There must be approximately 73 lines before this, as the error message says
the session_start() is on line 89. Your problem is that one of those lines
is an include/require for data_valid_fns.php, and line 25 of that file
outputs something that can't be output before the session_start(). Take a
look there and work out how you can fix that.
