You need to move session_start() to the top of your script - before any output.

Sorry. Don't understand your question.

BTW you need to move session_id() to before session_start().

It is not a good idea to use usernames for session_ids as they are far too easy to hijack. You should use the default session_id assigned by PHP and get rid of your call to "session_id()"
