#25534 [Opn->Bgs]: "A session had already been started"

ID: 25534 Updated by: phildriscoll@php.net Reported By: yipchiu8 at netvigator dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Session related Operating System: windows xp sp1 PHP Version: 4.3.3 New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php PHP 4.3.3 fixes a bug in ealier versions of php whereby a warning was not issued when session_start was called more than once. You are now seeing the warning message because you code has two or more calls to session_start. You need to either remove the duplicate session_start calls or, if this is not possible, wrap the calls to session_start with some code which first checks if the session has already started. Maybe something like if(!session_id())session_start(); Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-09-14 22:44:50] yipchiu8 at netvigator dot com Description: ------------ I used PHP 4.3.2. to create a web site.
