Please help, can't seem to see where problem lies. I have placed session_start() at start of script, yet problem recurs. Will appreaciate suggestions.
[php]
<?php
session_name ('YourVisitID');
ini_set('session.use_cookies', 0); // Don't use cookies.
session_start();
?>

Several header misplace were found in your script:
1. session_start() should go before defining your session_name.
2. Setting a value to session at mid of the script, after header was sent. You should have set your session at the beginning of the page (before any HTML output).
3. You have header("Location: $url"); which will earn you another error message -- header already sent...
