On 11 February 2004 16:39, Alex Hogan contributed these pearls of wisdom: > Session_start() has to be the first thing at the top of the > page before > anything else. Even header info. Er, no. session_start() itself generates headers, so it doesn't matter whether it goes before or after other headers. It also doesn't matter how much code is before your session_start(), so long as none of it generates any actual page content of any kind (and that includes whitespace). So it could be perfectly valid to have a session_start() on line 768, if everything preceding it is PHP initializations and logic -- and the error message isn't about headers being output at the wrong place, so I'm guessing that isn't it. Unfortunately, I don't have any real idea what *could* be the problem here, but I wanted to stop the OP haring off on a wild goose chase...! Cheers!
