hi all,

okay i have a problem. I keep on getting errors refering to header errrors. I know that when using sessions you have to send the "session_start();" command before anything else but i still have a problem.

This problem has got so annoying that i stripped all my code out of the page and just left in this:

<?php 

session_start();

?>

These are the errors i am getting:

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/var/chroot/home/content/46/7480346/tmp/sess_c86d29duakfbej19mjb0quvu13, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in /home/content/46/7480346/html/login_process.php on line 2



Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/content/46/7480346/html/login_process.php:2) in /home/content/46/7480346/html/login_process.php on line 2



Warning: Unknown: open(/var/chroot/home/content/46/7480346/tmp/sess_c86d29duakfbej19mjb0quvu13, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in Unknown on line 0



Warning: Unknown: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct () in Unknown on line 0

Can anyone help me please?

Thanks,
Jake

What's BEFORE the lines you showed us?

[JakeWelton]

theres nothing, thats where my problem is. Nothing is being sent to the browser before this code as this code is all that is on the page.

If you could write to session before:
Can you verify with a hex editor that no content is before the opening tag? The opening tag will be 3C 3F 70 68 70

It seems there is no byte order mark. Did something change in your system? The other warning seems to state that you cannot write to the temporary location.

[JakeWelton]

hmmm im not sure tbh, is there anything i can do?

[WingedPanther73]

Is this file being included by another file that sends something?

[JakeWelton]

no, maybe it will help if i explain what the file is used for. First of the page i am having problems with is page B. I have a login form on page A, when the user submits the form, the data is sent to page B, page B then checks to see if the user name and password is correct and then sets a session if it is. I know nothing on page B is being sent before the session start, but could page A have any effects?

I think that you have a config problem. In php.ini session.save_path must point to a writeable folder.

I had something similar to this on my server with sessionstart, maybe it's something to do with the PHP config.
