Hi,

I am working on the Beginning php,mysql and apache book, chapter 2. I am having problems passing a value through a session.
I have typed the code exactly as it say in the book and I keep getting this error:

Warning: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at c:\phpdev\www\phppractise\music review site\movie1.php:2) in c:\phpdev\www\phppractise\music review site\movie1.php on line 3

Warning: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at c:\phpdev\www\phppractise\music review site\movie1.php:2) in c:\phpdev\www\phppractise\music review site\movie1.php on line 3

I am not sure what is happening here. Can anyone help?

I have checked the php.ini file for the correct session_save_path which seems to be pointing to the right file.

Any ideas whats wrong?

David

U should use session_start() before u send anything ( html o/p) to browser; as PHP warns headers already sent
Simple logic is, if u've already started o/p, why r u re-modifying information ( session information ), sent to browser.

U may create buffer ( 4 PHP script ) by using ob_start()/ob_start()
( not recommended )

Hi,

I understand what you are saying, and thank you very much for getting back. I will try this out tonight. However, could you explain what o/p means? - silly question I know.

many thanks
David
