Warning: Session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot Send Session

Note: If you are using cookie-based sessions, you must call session_start() before anything is outputted to the browser.

The other day i kept getting this error:

That fixed it.

I am posting here just incase anyone else is getting it..

Description
bool session_start ( void )

session_start() creates a session or resumes the current one based on the current session id that's being passed via a request, such as GET, POST, or a cookie.

If you want to use a named session, you must call session_name() before calling session_start().

session_start() will register internal output handler for URL rewriting when trans-sid is enabled. If a user uses ob_gzhandler or like with ob_start(), the order of output handler is important for proper output. For example, user must register ob_gzhandler before session start.
