[RESOLVED] Quite embarrassing

[stephan.gerlach]

I have quite an embarrassing problem.

For some reason I can not set the session. I tripple checked that there is no output before it but it still comes up.

This is what I have

file index.php

this is the very first line
<?php include('includes/top.php'); ?>

file includes/top.php
<?php session_start(); ?>

This is the error message

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /index.php:1) in /includes/top.php on line 1

Now sometimes if I stop executing the script these symbols come up on the screen.




Anybody an idea what they mean?

Not sure what was wrong but it works now.

Thanks to all those hundreds and thousands of people that sent me suggestions.
