HTTP headers are sent and finalized after the first bit of output. I had the same problem before and it turned out to be because I had a close tag "?>" at the end of a file followed by some whitespace. The solution was to remove the ?> from the end of all the files and I haven't closed an entire file since. Perhaps that might be it?

Hmm... In fact, I did close all my include files with the ?> tag, and per Michael's observation in another response, there is a line of whitespace after the closing tag in my include files. I tried getting rid of the trailing whitespace, and removed the closing tags. Unfortunately, even after that, when I place my include files before session_start, I get the same problem. There's no leading whitespace before the starting <?php tag, so I'm still a little at a loss. It's not too big of a deal though; I simply placed my include files after the call to session_start(). That seems to solve the problem. James

James: As I understand things, that's the way it is supposed to work -- you always start a session page off with session_start() as your first statement. I've had some pages complain that a session has already been started and in that case, I check to see if a session ID is set and it not, then do a session_start(). But, as a matter of habit, I always make session_start() my first line of code. Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com
