Hi,
I need to place a header.php file within a table cell in another body.php file. The header file has a session.start() code block in it while the body.php file requires the header.php file. When I run the app, I encounter the message: "Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at ...."
It works fine if I place the require code at the very top - but it contravenes my design. The web app is all enclosed in a table. How can I place the code within a table cell and still have the same results?

Please assist, thanks

Hi,

I think the problem is as it says. You are probably using the function session_start() twice
place the function session_start()in body.php or header.php not both.
A beter solution would be to but the session start in a different file.

BTW your table layout is not the issue in your problem.

Thanks DJ Kat, I appreciate that prompt response. I have doubled checked and I may confirm that only one file- the header.php file has the session_start() method and not the body.php. The body.php only requires the header.php. are you suggesting that I should take out the requires code from the body.php file?

It seems you and a other member have the same problem,

I think I got the awser to your problem. You are probably testing on your localhost.
Is it by any chance that you PHP directory is located c:\Program Files or c:\Windows

You need to set the permissions on the folder PHP.
Use windows explorer en select properties of this folder and change the permisions.

This has been discussed on this forum before check it out

I too have session start elsewhere but im a newbie at php and the way it is layed out i dnt think i could remove it in some places. But if i remove it on the page where the login name will be displayed, the message does disapear but it then doesnt show as anyone is logged in.

Any ideas?
