Freedom-n-Democrazy Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 In the PHP manual, under session_start(), it says: To use cookie-based sessions, session_start() must be called before outputting anything to the browser. Does this mean I cannot place it in the middle of a HTML file? What about if I put it on line 1 of a HTML document (before the DOCTYPE! (HTML 4.01))?

MasterACE14 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 before ANY output. What about if I put it on line 1 of a HTML document (before the DOCTYPE! (HTML 4.01))? That would be fine, like... <?php session_start(); // some PHP stuff ?> <html> <head></head> <body> ....
