Session_Start problem

Klown256

Not exactly sure what the problem is since i have tested this code on a seperate server from my new one. I'll paste the section of the code where the session_start is kept.

<?
$item = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM inventory WHERE uid = '$uid' LIMIT 1");

$isint = is_numeric($areacode);
$intlen = strlen($areacode);

session_start(); // start session
?>

anyhow the i think the problem is with the server change to an apache server. I get several warnings all about session_start();

Warning: session_start(): open(C:\PHP\sessiondata\sess_8573930e18df67b3165b3f2eb4a275c0, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in C:\Apache2\WWWRoot\somecompany\shoppingcart.php on line 26

I could be wrong but it seems to me as though php is having a problem writing the session to it's physical location. Could it be the directory that gets mentioned there doesn't exist or that the webserver/php doesn't have write access to it to create the temporary session files?

i fixed the rights issue so now the warning about the directory is gone. However the other 2 warnings are still there. The session is being created for sure however, and i have no idea how to get rid of these warnings.

What is on line 13 of shoppingcart.php?

Is session.auto_start 1 because if it is then when you put the session_start() function in it will give you an error.

The error message clearly states that headers are being sent on line 13 of shoppingcart.php before trying to start the session on line 26. Fix that and in theory, you fix your problem.
