hello, i'm a beginner. Can anybody figure what cause this warning message.

Warning: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/ahchew/public_html/tryS.php:1) in /home/ahchew/public_html/tryS.php on line 3
your name is ahchew

here is my code:

<?php
session_start();
session_register("nama");
$nama = "goh jit siang";

include("try.inc");
htmlHeader();

echo"your name is $nama\n\n";
htmlFooter();
?>

here is the include file

<?
function htmlHeader(){
echo ("<head><title>TRY</title></head><body>");
}

function htmlFooter(){
echo ("</body>");
}
?>

thanks !

First thing to check: is there anything in the php file before:
<?php
session_start();

including spaces or blank lines? As soon as anything is sent to the browser, the session handling functions can no longer be used (unless you switch on output buffering, but that's another story.)

I notice for example that you don't mention anywhere. If you've actually got

<?php
session_start();

Then that's where the problem is.
