note 53545 added to ref.session

The notes above explain: "Also note that you must start your session using session_start() before use of $_SESSION becomes available." It would be worth adding that $_SESSION variables are not available until something has been sent to the browser on the page - or at least that was my experience. Forgive if it is obvious or if it is explained elsewhere in the manual but it caused me much grief. (I was trying to be tidy and get the processing done before displaying any HTML.)
