Incredible. Thank you very much. I use Dreamweaver, and found a check box in the Page Properties for BOM. It now works just fine!

It is my understanding that <?php session_start (); ?> must go on the very first line otherwise "it won't work." But mine still isn't working, and I'm not sure why. These errors were returned EVEN AFTER I deleted everything in index.php except <? session_start (); ?>.... Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /home/xxx/public_html/xxx/xxx/index.php:1) in /home/xxx/public_html/xxx/xxx/index.php on line 1 Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/xxx/public_html/xxx/xxx/index.php:1) in /home/xxx/public_html/xxx/xxx/index.php on line 1

That works perfectly, thank you Ken!

I'm putting up a simple text editor for an "about me" website. Here's the basics from the edit page: <form action="done.php"> <textarea name="new" style="width: 600px; height: 500px;"> <? readfile("about.txt"); ?> </textarea> <input type="submit" value="Save" /> </form> The old text is put into the form, and once it is re-written, it is sent here: <? $_POST["save"] = fopen("about.txt", "w"); fwrite($_POST["save"], stripslashes($_REQUEST["new"])); fclose($_POST["save"]); ?> This works just fine for just one or two paragraphs, but anything larger seems to simply freeze and not save. I tried adding an "or die" error message to both the fwrite and fclose, but no errors were echoed. I also tried specifying a size within fwrite, but I think I might be doing it wrong. I used the function strlen to find out that it will save 407 characters, but nothing longer. Thank you for any help or suggestions.
