problems with sessions

roomyz

my script sends error messages when i run/test it on explorer.

Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /usr/local/www/data-dist/scripts/student/student_process.php:8) in /usr/local/www/data-dist/scripts/student/student_process.php on line 44

Line 44: session_start();
Line 45: header("Cache-control: private");

what could be the meaning of this?

Line 8 is the line that you have to look at, not 44 and 45.

You MUST start the session BEFORE you out put ANYTHING to the browser. It must come before the doctype and everything.

3meta name="linked-style-sheet-name" value="Embedded style sheet">
4<meta name="window-location" value="{ 25 25 550 854 }">
5<meta name="targetted-browsers" value="NS4.0 NS6 IE4.0 IE5">
6<title>Student Grade Verification</title>
7<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" 8href="http://www.msumain.edu.ph/msu-style.css">
<style type="text/css">
