[font=Andale Mono]Hi All,
I'm getting this error, when i try to compile the login.php file locally from my system. I'm giving the error message for your reference.

The warning displayed is
Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at c:\Program Files\Apache Group\WEBS\Test\ML_Proj_Chn\login.php:10) in c:\Program Files\Apache Group\WEBS\Test\ML_Proj_Chn\login.php on line 44

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at c:\Program Files\Apache Group\WEBS\Test\ML_Proj_Chn\login.php:10) in c:\Program Files\Apache Group\WEBS\Test\ML_Proj_Chn\login.php on line 44

kindly advise on this.

Try changing to

Code:

<?php
session_start();
rest of script

This is because session_start() needs to be the first line in your php file, as cookie based sessions need to be setup before anything else (even whitespace) is output into the browser.

You have to write ur session_start()statement on top of your file. After that you can have ur html and php code.

Example:-

<?php
session_start();

?>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<?php

?>
</body>
</html>

Hope this would help
