Sessions help :(

Hey

I'd like to say sorry to begin with, because im learning PHP, and all i keep doing is come back here for advice, so i'd be more than understanding if you lot didnt help me anymore!

My problem now is:

Code:

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /home/clubpixe/public_html/callum/index.php:10) in /home/clubpixe/public_html/callum/index.php on line 20

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/clubpixe/public_html/callum/index.php:10) in /home/clubpixe/public_html/callum/index.php on line 20

that comes up on my log in form

Now the code it mentions is this:

PHP Code:


<?php
 
session_start();
include("config.php");
 
if(isset($_SESSION['logged_in'])) {
 
}

And i just dont know what i've done wrong.... Knowing me it'll be a very silly mistake... and if its not too much to ask, If you do try and help can you tell me how you came to that conclusion so i can learn rather than copy and paste??

Thank yooo

You need to put session_start(); before anything else on the page, so you could just do <?php session_start(); ?> right at the top of the page, before any other code.

Your welcome.

Thing is though..... Its on a page with Div's etc.... Does this mean that just;

<? session_start (); ?> goes before the Div or is it that enter phrase inc. the config.php and stuff???

Thanks again

It should go right at the top of page. before the <head></head> tags.
