I know this is all around the internet but I did everything I could and it still gives me this error:

Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/content/d/a/r/BLAH/html/XSVG/System Files/Nav.cf:8) in /home/content/d/a/r/BLAH/html/XSVG/Admin/Files/Auth.php on line 4

The code is...

Nav.cf

PHP Code:


			
<htmL>
<br>
<center><a href="Main.php">Home</a> | 
<a href="Main.php?Page=CrtShw">Add A Show</a> | 
<a href="Main.php?Page=UpldEp">Upload Episode</a> | 
<a href="Main.php?Page=BugRpt">Bug Report</a> | 
<a href="Main.php?Page=Logout">Logout</a><br>
<a>Welcome To BETA Testing!| Version =</a>

and...

Auth.php

PHP Code:


			
<?
include '/home/content/d/a/r/BLAH/html/XSVG/System Files/Config.php';
if ( $_POST["psswrd"] == $Password ) {
session_start(); 
$_SESSION['views'] = 1;
    include '/home/content/d/a/r/BLAH/html/XSVG/System Files/Config.php';
    include '/home/content/d/a/r/BLAH/html/XSVG/System Files/SysInfo.php';
    include '/home/content/d/a/r/BLAH/html/XSVG/System Files/Nav.php';

}else{
    echo "Wrong Password";
    echo $_POST["psswrd"];
}
?>

People tell me to move the session_start(); but if I do the code wont work as its suppose to. Can someone PLEASE help I spent over 2 hours on this one little error!

I'd move session_start to the beggining of the script, just after <? .
Besides make sure, there's no BOM in the beggining of the script.
Morover, you can read about ob_start() and ob_end_flush() and try it.

Put the session_start(); at the beginning of the page. If you echo/send any HTML to the page you cannot set the session cookie.

As rogem002 stated, you need to put session_start before anything in order to send the cookies information in the headers. Otherwise the browser cannot get the cookies information.

Hey thanks a lot! What I didn't do before was I didn't bring it to the top of Main.php page. Main.php page has a php switch and Auth.php was in that switch so as soon as i put the session start on the top of Main.php it worked. Thanks a lot!
