hi all,

I'm using dreamweaver templates to make my site, however when I want to use the session_start(); function in php, the headers have already been sent because dreamweaver writes the following into the page:

<!-- InstanceBegin template="/Templates/index.dwt.php" codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="false" -->

and so I am having to put in the session_start function manually at the top of every page before the above code. Is there any way to get around this?

Thanks in advance!

Max.

No. Session start must always come before headers are sent, and that means before that code there.

Forgot to add, you could have written it like:

<?php session_start(); ?>
<!-- InstanceBegin template="/Templates/index.dwt.php" codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="false" -->
