What is wrong with the above code? It keeps giving me

'Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/u599980382/public_html/newsite/index.php:1) in /home/u599980382/public_html/newsite/connect.php on line 2'.

It doesn't do this on any other pages, not even a page with almost the same exact code (only the content is different); it only does this on the index. Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide.

    Most likely something before the `session_start()` is sending output to the browser. This would be easier to debug if you provide the code for your scripts, mainly where the `session_start()` code is and anything before it. – PhearOfRayne Jan 05 '13 at 05:30
  • your code is ok. It might be error of connect.php or header.php. i think your this code is ok. i try this code with my header, footer and connection file. then it worked. :) – Nytram Jan 05 '13 at 05:38
  • This can be caused by any output before `session_start()`, even if there is a single space before your php tag - `-> – Sean Jan 05 '13 at 05:42
  • It happens ONLY on index.php; none of the other pages have errors. – user1640021 Jan 05 '13 at 15:41
  • It was because it was UTF-8 with BOM. Changed character encoding to ANSI, and things are fine. – user1640021 Jan 05 '13 at 15:46

for use of header functions headers have not been sent you can check it by headers_sent

// If no headers are sent, send one
if (!headers_sent()) {
......
}

you can change your code to this case:

<?php
include 'header.php';
include 'connect.php';
include 'content.php';
?>
