Sessions don't work on MAMP


I'm using MAMP, but I have a problem with session. My code works perfectly on WAMP, but doesn't work on MAMP and I don't no why. I looked the phpinfo but there are the same for the session between MAMP and WAMP.

PHP log file : [01-May-2012 12:18:28] PHP Warning: session_start() [<a href='function.session- start'>function.session-start</a>]: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/Website/index.php:7) in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/Website/header.php on line 2 [01-May-2012 12:18:28] PHP Warning: session_start() [<a href='function.session-start'>function.session-start</a>]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/Website/index.php:7) in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/Website/header.php on line 2

Why they doesn't work ?

Thank you.


Solution

  • Look here:

     headers already sent by (output started at /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/Website/index.php:7)
    

    in that line there is some output generated before you call session_start(). If you generate ANY output (even just a newline or something, whitespace, you name it) a header gets send and you cannot send another header for session_start().

    I doubt it has anything specifically to do with your *AMP.
