I've found the solution! I read through php.net functions list forums and found following comment: [tt]devonmitton at gmail dot com 26-Jul-2006 10:35 I ran into the problem of losing the session after i redirect the user with header( location:); I found that the problem doesn't occur in php5. Atleast for myself. I tested it on IIS as well as Apache and both times using php5 fixed the issue. Secondly, I found a weird solution: The website i'm building required Cyrillic type, so i encode the pages using UTF-8. The problem that happens is that UTF-8 sends information before the php tags, and therefore before the session_start(); which ultimately renders the session_start(); call ineffective. The UTF-8 encoding sends a small chunk of information before anything. This is called BOM (byte order marks). To ensure that they don't show up, you need to save your files with a UTF-8 encoding which bypasses BOM. BBEdit for the Macintosh with allow for this under the file encoding options. To recap: In this instance and for my situation, UTF-8, no BOM will allow sessions to pass through the header( location:); redirect, or using PHP5. Hope this helps someone! [i will also repeat this comment under the header() function][/tt] The reason is that I used to save the script with BOM which actually caused the session not to work properly. Hope this helps someone else as well :) Jakub.

Hey guys, I have a problem with sessions (I guess) :) I get this warning: Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at c:\Program Files\Apache\htdocs\amtest-tm\index.php:1) in c:\Program Files\Apache\htdocs\amtest-tm\index.php on line 3 Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at c:\Program Files\Apache\htdocs\amtest-tm\index.php:1) in c:\Program Files\Apache\htdocs\amtest-tm\index.php on line 3 I get this warning everytime I run the index.php script. It's pretty weird since it looks like this: [code]<?php ob_start(); session_start(); . . . <?php   ob_end_flush(); ?>[/code] There are NO whitespaces, empty lines or any other stuff that could cause php to display this error.. I tried to find solution on google but found nothing so far.. Any ideas? Thanks, Jakub.
