[SOLVED] Simple question

[timmah1]

When I build my pages, I build a header and a footer, then use a simple include or require to insert them on to other pages

 

I'm moving to a new hosting company, I have this on my header page

<?php
session_start();
require("config.php");
$copy = date("Y"); //grab the current year for the copyright

 

Then, my index page is like so

<?php
session_start);
require("header.php");
?>

 

This worked fine on my other site, but now I get an error saying

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/tmp/sess_ef6b506f46073402fe96acfde25bf616, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in /home/public_html/index.php on line 2

 

• Is this because my domain name is not yet Propagated, and I'm using an IP right now, or could it be something else?
  
• Is it necessary to declare session_start() on every page, even though it's being defined in the header?
  

 

Thanks in advance

It appears that you do not yet have permission to write to the /tmp directory where php stores the server side session cookies. I'd speak to your host.

 

Is it necessary to declare session_start() on every page, even though it's being defined in the header?

 

Nope. Header only need to be called within scope of the current request.
