Session Error

[neugi]

Hi,

 

i've got a strange problem:

 

i get this errors:

 

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at e:\Internet\pmtopagents\test.php:1) in e:\Internet\pmtopagents\test.php on line 3

 

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at e:\Internet\pmtopagents\test.php:1) in e:\Internet\pmtopagents\test.php on line 3

 

but in my test.php is nothing else than:

 

<?php
session_start();
?>

 

there is no space in front of <?php

 

where could be the error?

Since the session_start() statement is on line two of what you can see, but the error message indicates it is on line three in the file, you likely have a blank-line/new-line character on line one of your file.

Hi,

 

could it be that apache is adding a newline?

 

i'm shure that there is no newline char in front of my code and there is also no other include in the thest files. in the test file there are only 3 lines (see top, nothing else)

I see an empty line on line 1 before your open tag <?php, making session_start() line 3.

 

the only time I have had session_start() fail when it was REALLY the first thing in the file, i had to save the PHP file as UTF-8 with NO BOM.

IF (a big if) the error indicated that the session_start() in your posted code was on line 2, I would agree that you don't have any new-line in your file before the <?php tag. However, the error message does not lie.

 

I recommend that you open your file and back-space to the start of the file and the hit the delete key until the < character on the <?php tag is removed to make sure you don't have any characters before the <?php tag.

got the error, fucking notepad on windows is making a space in front of the code, but it don't shows it in the editor, changing now to notepadd++
