note 106509 modified in function.session-start by danbrown

I had the infamous "Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent ..." error, and I was convinced it was because I was trying to open a session AND send a cookie. I tried everything that was suggested, uploaded in ANSI, uploaded in UTF 8, etc. I tried opening the session first, then sending the cookie first. Turns out my problem was quite simple: " <?php session_start(); ?>" Do you see the problem with my code? I finally did: " <?php" ^^------ There is an accidental space! I'm sure I'm not the only one who encounters this problem. Hopefully this helps others! --was-- I had the infamous "Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent ..." error, and I was convinced it was because I was trying to open a session AND send a cookie.
