David,
I too had the same problem, once I put the session_start(); outside the HTML
<html> tag it's now gone away, but, using this code which is in a tutorial,
I get these errors:
++++++++++++++++Start Code ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
<?php
session_start();
?>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd";>
<html>
<head>
<title>Session test</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>
<?php
print($counter);
$counter++;
session_register("counter");
?>
</body>
</html>
++++++++++++++++Start Error ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Parse error: parse error, unexpected ';' in
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\php\session.php on line 13
Any suggestions? I'm my WindowsXP Pro machine, and I'm from a ColdFusion
background so this is all similar but different to me.
