hitman6003 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 sessions use cookies...if output has been sent to the browser before it can send the cookie header, it will fail. EDIT: This means that if you have a newline at the top of your php script, before the opening tag, it will output a newline...which will cause your header to fail... ///top of file, blank "newline" can't be here <?php .... ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenrbnsn Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 There have been instances of some editors putting an unprintable character at the very start of the file. What editor do you use to write your script? Try deleting the "<?php" line and retyping it. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooldude832 Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 removal of the <?php did not work check out: http://upperstraitscleanlake.org/horse/login.php and see the error for your self editor is notepad++ utf-8 it does do pretty print.
