PHP session_start();

Question

I'm trying to use Sessions with PHP and I started them with session_start(); at the beginning of my index.php but got following error messages:

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /home/ideal906/public_html/index.php:1) in /home/ideal906/public_html/index.php on line 2

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/ideal906/public_html/index.php:1) in /home/ideal906/public_html/index.php on line 2

This is strange has it's the very first line of my website:

<?php
    session_start();
?>

Answer 1

You have an (invisible) BOM (byte-order-mark) that has been placed by your editor at the start of the file. It is being output before session_start() thus making your page unable to change the HTTP headers. Remove the BOM and the problem will go away.
