Okay, not sure if you'll get what I want to say, but I'll give it a shop.

Before sending pages/data, every webserver, sends a HEAD or header which looks like this:

Code: Select all

HTTP/1.0 
Content-type: text/html
X-Powered-By: apache2.2
...

Now, when you use the following PHP function:

Code: Select all

session_start();

It sends the headers again which contains the session details. You (can) later use this session cache to store variables.

Now, the problem with this function is that you'll get the error (which you are getting), if you use

Code: Select all

session_start()

twice or you use the

Code: Select all

header()

function (which is used to set the HTTP headers manually), you try to re-write the HTTP headers, which is not possible; this results in the aforementioned error.

So, it basically means that if the script is calling any function(s) related to sending/writing headers twice, it'll throw that exception; to resolve this, the quick and dirty way, you can comment that line or use the following bit of code:

Code: Select all

if (!headers_sent()) {
  // .... code ....
}

Hope it helps. If not, you can try a fresh install with a different version, check your file permissions, or if you don't plan to change the version, it might be a programming bug, so you have only one way out: use another version; it won't hurt. Also, you can change the PHP_INI files to suit your needs, or you can post a ticket in the phpBB help section.
