note 31809 added to function.session-start

Perhaps someone can get back to me on this one ... does session_start () have to be declared before any output???? This has been frustrating me, cause it state that if using cookie based sessions, it needs to be declared for the header stuff (obviously for the cookie to be sent) ... but if not using cookies, does it still have to be?? I'm guessing no cause cause i get the typical "Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent " error Could someone pulleeaase verify this for me .. thanks -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-start.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+31809 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+31809 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+31809
