Session must be started before any headers have been sent, ie. before ANYTHING is sent to the client.

Hi,

I have the same error that you had and i also changed the path in my php.ini file but it still doesn't work. The path that I gave was "c:/temp" (with the quotes included).
Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong plz?

Tnx
