[PHP] Sessions on Win2k
Hi, I've searched the archives and note that many have probelms using session on a Win2K server. I am getting a Undefined index: sessions in D:\inetpub\mydomain\www\forms\formmail\formmail.php on line 768 error. Line 768 is: session_start(); It works Ok on Linux; is there any special Windows configuration?

Session_start() has to be the first thing at the top of the page before anything else. Even header info.

On 11 February 2004 16:39, Alex Hogan contributed these pearls of wisdom: Session_start() has to be the first thing at the top of the page before anything else. Even header info. Er, no. session_start() itself generates headers, so it doesn't matter whether it goes before or after other headers. It also doesn't matter how much code is before your session_start(), so long as none of it generates any actual page content of any kind (and that includes whitespace). So it could be perfectly valid to have a session_start() on line 768, if everything preceding it is PHP initializations and logic -- and the error message isn't about headers being output at the wrong place, so I'm guessing that isn't it. Unfortunately, I don't have any real idea what *could* be the problem here, but I wanted to stop the OP haring off on a wild goose chase...! Cheers!

Sorry..., my bad I was just relating what I thought had been related to me for the same question. I think I'll stick to the asking and not the answering for a while longer...
