David, I too had the same problem, once I put the session_start(); outside the HTML <html> tag it's now gone away, but, using this code which is in a tutorial, I get these errors: ++++++++++++++++Start Code ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ <?php session_start(); ?> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd";> <html> <head> <title>Session test</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> <body> <?php print($counter); $counter++; session_register("counter"); ?> </body> </html> ++++++++++++++++Start Error ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Parse error: parse error, unexpected ';' in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\php\session.php on line 13 Any suggestions? I'm my WindowsXP Pro machine, and I'm from a ColdFusion background so this is all similar but different to me.
