Warning: Cannot send session cache limiter *RESOLVED*

[flame_211]

Warning: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/alltom/public_html/flame/template.inc.php:1) in /home/alltom/public_html/flame/lib.inc.php on line 550 

Whats wrong with that? I mean why am i getting it??

Line 547 to 550 in lib.inc.php:

session_set_save_handler('sess_open', '', 'sess_read', 'sess_write', 'sess_destroy', 'sess_gc');            
    session_name('s');
    session_name('s');
    session_start(); 

Im having problems with session_start() through out the site, any help???

I think it means you've already sent some content to the browser. You'd have to do the session stuff first, then send the content.

you might also want to check out current PHP programming conventions. like those on how to properly do sessions these days.

ok in response to kings first:

I put all my session stuff first:

 session_set_save_handler('sess_open', '', 'sess_read', 'sess_write', 'sess_destroy', 'sess_gc');            
    session_name('s');
    session_name('s');
    session_start(); 

then all my other stuff,

And I got this:

Fatal error: Failed to initialize session module in /home/alltom/public_html/flame/users.php on line 6

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

Response to The Hobo:
I think i got the most up-to-date functions for my version of php if thats what you mean...

[The Hobo]

What version are you using?

This sounds like a PHP problem to me, not a code probably. Either something isn't setup properly somewhere (php.ini or something), or something isn't installed properly.

I'll also admit I have no idea what session_set_save_handler() does.

[flame_211]

Version: PHP 4.2.1
And im trying to contact the guy thats hosting me to get the session.save_path changed( i think thats the problem but im not sure )

[The Hobo]

Yeah, with php 4.2, you specify a session like $_SESSION['a']; I think. Instead of session_name('s');

It's not going to help you out, though.

[flame_211]

k, well, im gonna have my buddy look it over and figure it out :P

[phpman]

why are you trying to serialize and save the session?

you don't need session_set_save_handler()

you very first line has to be session_start() before any other code.

and why do you have session_name twice? you don't even need that.

if you are on 4.2 then you must use $_SESSION[] the super global, unless you have globals turned on and for what reason I have no idea. by default it is turned off.
