Session Problem

Anon

My site was running fine for weeks, then i formated my drive and re-installed windows. Soon as i got my site back up and running, i kept getting these errors:

Warning: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at C:\HEADERFILE_I_USE:4) in C:\THE_FILE_WITH_THE_ERROR on line 53

In the header file i start a for a session using: session_start("verified");

and in the other file i register a session using: session_register("verified");

I have a feeling that the code is fine, but its my setup of the server or php that has the problem, I'm running the most current version of apache for WIN and php. Is there a variable that i forgot to change when setting them up?

If you changed any of your code look for spaces outside of your <?php and ?> tags in all of the files that you are including to display a page.

Your web server will send headers and initiate the communitcation back to the browser if even 1 space is found outside of <?php ?>.

i also have problem with session:

i have warning message like this:
Warning: open(/temp\sess_6a71b2e1203eb43b747e7bc6aaabdc0a, O_RDWR) failed: m (2) in c:\webroot\schedule\default.php on line 6

in default.php on line 6 i write :
session_onstart();

what's mean? sorry, i'm newbe in php world.
thank for your advice.

It means that the web server user doesn't have permission to write to the directory /temp. Since you are on a windows machine this is probably just a configuration error. I've never set up PHP on Windows so I really can't help much, but check in your php.ini file for the session file location and change it to somewhere that you know exists and that the web server user can write to.

Oh, the solution to this problem is to write the following code BEFORE tag

session_start();

that's all. That way, it will work because sessions will be sent first before headers can be.

Didn't you read the manual? It says that sessions must be sent before headers, such as or others can be. It's a rule.
