One of two things are happening.. but to correct the error you can:
output_buffering = Off
Toggle this to produce the error.
Most liekly you are using an include to like header.php" that is outputing the session data already.
You cannot resend the header infomation once it has been sent already.

You cannot output any text to the user and then try and do a header() call in PHP. If you do, you will get a headers already sent error.
Hope that helps
