The first thing I would ask is why are you using/need ob_start(). session_start() should be the first thing that happens in most cases. Since, well, any code that exist is potentially going to rely on a session state. If you are trying to use ob_start() to rid of the common error 'headers already sent in some_file.php on line such and such', i would first consider why that is causing the error and how can you call session_start() before that happens. Since '97 i think i've used ob_start twice, in all my php apps, and that was cause I wanted to filter the output either with tidy or modify the data in a very obscure way.
