There are 2 things you are doing here: 1) Session start 2) page redirection
put session_start() as the 1st line in your script. Echo commands in the included file causes such warnings: "Warning: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\web1\html-head.inc:9)" The first two warnings are on account of the above problem. The 3rd warning is becoz of the php.ini that Dimitris talks about. For the last warning, another simple mistake: <---echo "session_id: ".session_id()."<br>";--> comment this line and then redirect the page. the header() function will cause errors if you have already written, sent output ('echoed', etc) to the current page. -Naintara ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dimitris Kossikidis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Web user" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, October 04, 2001 4:48 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] Session and header() errrors You should change sessions configuration in php.ini The default value for sessions dir /tmp.
