Re: session_start() || shell access problem......

Hey Robert. Indeed, hard to find the problem. I don't believe it's a whitespace issue, or even a "Headers sent issue", despite the fact that I'm receiving that error. Check it out: test.php contains just one line: <?$text = `usr/local/bin/php /path/to/my/php/test1.php`;?> test1.php, the file to be executed, contains just one line: <?session_start();?> There are no line breaks, spaces, etc. Still get "Headers already sent". Pretty strange, right? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the problem may be related to the fact that when files are executed from the command line, php now looks for include_paths, session_paths, etc. relative to the server root; not the site root. I can think of no other reason why include paths, starting sessions, and so on, return errors from the command line but ork perfectly fine when run in a browser..... Feel free to clue me in -- I know didly about shell access issues. --Noah "Robert Cummings" <robert@interjinn.com> wrote in message news:1064091763.19204.1.camel@blobule.suds... > On Sat, 2003-09-20 at 15:46, CF High wrote: > > Hey all. > > > > I'm running a script from the command-line php interpreter as follows: > > (thanks to D.
