Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter

Jan 29th, 2009

Hello Guys!

I get this error when I try to run one of my php page but I do not get this error in other page which are basically same.

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at C:\xampp\htdocs\go\birthday.php:1) in C:\xampp\htdocs\go\auth.php on line 2

I have tried like more then 20 hours but to no avail. So I hope you guys will shed some light in the problem.

I have trimmed down the code to make it easy to read.

With loads of Hope and Regards.

Where exactly are you calling session_start()? And that error just means you have some sort of output (check for spaces, newlines before your <?php tags) before you have called session_start(). If you have to do this, consider output buffering.

Hello guys!

Thank you very much for a very quick reply. Well yes the problem was output but I couldn't find it. I was using Notepad++ and there seemed to be nothing being outputted. Thank you death clock for the same suggestion. I then use NuSphere PhpEd and found out that there is a small - infront of <?php in the birthday. So all the time it was notepadd++ not working. Very disappointed with it now. Anyway Thank you very much for your help.

Kind Regards,
