Re: problem with starting a session

You cannot write anything out before the session_start() call. The error tells you that you have written something at: output started at c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ads4u\data_valid_fns.php:25 Check for any echo, print or html output before session_start() Hope that helps, Ben "Ahmed Abdelaliem" <ahmed_abdelaliem@hotmail.com> escribió en el mensaje news:Law15-F414S8Uq5nlhR0000425d@hotmail.com... > hi, > i have a problem with starting a session in the page that validates the user > input and sends it tothe database, > when the user clicks register he gets this error > > Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent > by (output started at c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ads4u\data_valid_fns.php:25) in > c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ads4u\register_new.php on line 89 > > Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers > already sent (output started at > c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ads4u\data_valid_fns.php:25) in > c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ads4u\register_new.php on line 89 > > > and here is the code i wrote : > > <? > $email=$HTTP_POST_VARS['email']; > $passwd=$HTTP_POST_VARS['passwd']; > $passwd2=$HTTP_POST_VARS['passwd2']; > $title=$HTTP_POST_VARS['title']; > $name1=$HTTP_POST_VARS['name1']; > $name2=$HTTP_POST_VARS['name2']; > $phone=$HTTP_POST_VARS['phone']; > $mobile=$HTTP_POST_VARS['mobile']; > $address1=$HTTP_POST_VARS['address1']; > $address2=$HTTP_POST_VARS['address2']; > $town=$HTTP_POST_VARS['town']; > $pb=$HTTP_POST_VARS['pb']; > $country=$HTTP_POST_VARS['country']; > $occupation=$HTTP_POST_VARS['occupation']; > > session_start(); > > > if (!filled_out($HTTP_POST_VARS)){ > echo "You Haven't filled your registeration details correctly, Please go > back and try again"; > exit; > } > > if (!valid_email($email)){ > echo "That is not a valid email address.
