hi, got a question about session.auto_start.

if we set it to on, means we can use session?

my server set this to off and whenever i use session_start(), it requires me to login and smetimes i got this error...

Warning: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /nfs/cust/2/1/8/katrin/shop_cart/css.php:1) in /nfs/cust/2/1/8/katrin/shop_cart/admin/search_pro.php on line 5
'

should i ask the host to set it to on?? everything works well if session.auto_start are set to on..

No, you don't need auto_start to be on to use sessions.
What is on Line 5 in search_pro.php ?

this is line 5
session_start("my_pass");

but when i run it with session.auto_start() set to on, then everything seems ok..
wat's the problem then??

joyce,

what are the 4 first lines in your script? Do you happen to have an include() or echo line? Post them here so we can see where the error is.. Try moving session_start("my_pass"); to the first line and see what happens.
