I was switched from a Windows server to a Linux server and my code worked before and now it doesn't. I receive the following error message:
Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/55/9237455/html/liztveten/PHP/header.php:44) in /home/content/55/9237455/html/liztveten/PHP/login.php on line 41

I have done many things to try and fix this but nothing seems to work.
I have moved my PHP code above the HTML code.
I have double checked for white space.
I have I have added tmp folder to my root folder and replaced session_start(); with session_save_path('/tmp'); session_start();
I don't know what else to do. This is my original code that worked under a windows server.
