problems with sessions

[usawh]

Hi,

 

I am getting this error message with my session login.

 

 

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/h/i/l/html/login101.php:1) in /home/content/h/i/l/html/login101.php on line 2

What are in those lines referenced? Do they output anything to the browser?

here is the begining coding

 

<?php

session_start();

 

$username = $_POST['username'];

$password = $_POST['password'];

output started at ....../login101.php:1 (line 1)

 

Output started at .... line 1 in your file, if you have no actual characters in your file before the <?php tag, usually means your file has been saved as a UTF-8 encoded file and the BOM (Byte Order Mark) characters that your editor placed at the start of the file is the output that is preventing the headers from working.

 

Save your file without the BOM characters or save it as an ANSI encoded file (not a UTF-8 encoded file.)
