OK, I have seen some of these messages before, now to figure out how you are triggering them. Some of these suggestions may be specific to previous releases of PHP and may no longer apply but here goes;
1. Make sure you have no stray or blank characters in your PHP file prior to the "<?php" tag. Any characters found outside the tags are sent to the browser and may be causing PHP to give you the message that it can't send headers, since it's already sent those characters. 2. The message may actually be startup logic of PHP, and you need to do an echo before the session_start(), to see if the error message is before your echo. You may also notice that the echo will actually trigger the message. 3. Are you using any session_handler routines (say to store your session data in a database). Sometimes those routines can generate output before the cookies have been sent. 4. Curious about your error message which cites your url as "xxxxx.php4:1", don't think I've ever seen the ":1" notation before. If that :1 is a line number reference as to where output was started, it could mean that the first line of that file contains your offending characters (see #1 above). hope this helps, Warren Vail -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 31, 2003 10:25 AM To: Vail, Warren; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP] Cannot send session cache limiter > perhaps you could show some code snippets. Thanks Warren, at least I know my message is getting through :-) Well, I just got this: Warning: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /home/sites/site191/web/test2/changeAlertDetails3.php4:1) in /home/sites/site191/web/test2/navigationStart3.php4 on line 4 Warning: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/sites/site191/web/test2/changeAlertDetails3.php4:1) in /home/sites/site191/web/test2/navigationStart3.php4 on line 4 Just after session_start() from the code: <?php include 'navigationStart3.php4'; where the first lines of navigationStart3.php4 are: <?php // session management stuff // creates a session or resumes one based on current session id that's being passed through get, post or cookie. session_start(); echo ("<p>Just after session_start()</p>"); And that was on first running of a test program with lots of other stuff stripped out. So it's no longer about the 'second and subsequent times around', it seems to happen first time too. I'm closing IE6 each time, and I've 'removed cookies' too. I think my head's full, so I'm going to leave it now, but I'll be back to work on it at the weekend. Any clues would be appreciated.
