Hey guys,

I've just edited my config file for my radio stats, and I keep getting the following error:


Warning: session_start() [function.session-start (http://afterhabbo.net/live/stats/function.session-start)]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/afterhab/public_html/live/stats/radio_stats.php:2) in /home/REMOVED/public_html/staff/includes/config.php on line 3

Anybody know the cause of this?

session_start() can only be at the top, well after/before other functions like ob_start()

As far as my own personal knowledge extends you cannot have any anything outputted to the browser before session_start() is used for example:

This would error


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr" lang="en">
<head>

<?php

session_start();

?>


That is because you have sent an output to the browser, in this case in HTML form. The proper way todo it would be:



<?php

session_start();

?>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr" lang="en">
<head>



I may be wrong but that's what my personal understanding is. Also note I have seen a single space before PHP tags to have also affected it.

I support that theory ;)
