Warning: session_start()

scorpioy

I moved my php and mysql code from WinXP to Linux and found some problems occur.

I got this warning and solved it when the code was running in WinXP. Now it comes again. Session value seems can not be passed:

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /.../search.php:4) in /.../search.php on line 19

here is the code:

</HEAD>
<body>
<?php
session_start();   //line19

Can someone know why is it like this?
Thanks.

You can't have ANY output before a session_start() (and other related header functions).

You have the head and body tags and that's why. Move the session_start() to the top; the first thing in your script.

toplay explained this pretty well
