Session Problems in PHP4

Anon

When trying to use sessions I am having the following problem:

Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent.

This problem makes no sense, as I have not set any headers or outputted anything to the document before creating my session.

All I do is include a function library (which includes my session code and other stuff) There is no output generated to the page when this library is loaded. I tryed this:

<?php ?> in a single document with nothing else, then viewed source in MS IE, and noticed:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY>

Where is this coming from? I have not put any code other than what is shown above and yet there are headers etc here.. I think this is my problem... I am usin php4.0.4pl1 with apache 1.3.14...

Any ideas?

It sounds as if your included library has some trailing whitespace. Double check to make sure this isn't the case. Go to the very bottom of your document and hit backspace until you reach the ending php tag. Also make sure that your opening php tag is at the very first postion in the file..

I can't tell you how many times that has burned me. Be careful, it gets more difficult as you include more files
