    Common session_start() error..

    I am getting the error message below when ever I try to start my script
    on two different servers. I am not getting any errors off of my PC. I
    have looked around and found the answer a simple one. I can not stop the
    error in my script. The session_start() is the first thing that happens
    before any Headers are created. Any one have any suggestions. Include
    the start of the code that uses the session var.

      <?php
      Do you really have this indentation in the script before the <?php tag? If so,
      that's where the output is coming from - and that's also backed up by the error
      saying the output started on line 1.

      It's possible to mask these problems by turning on one of the variants of
      output_bufferin g, but it's best practice to eliminate the output before any
      headers are sent so it works with or without buffering. This may explain why
      you see it on one setup but not the other - you probably have buffering (or
      zlib output compression) turned on.

          Thanks Andy that was the problem. Sorry, I am new to PHP and I do not
          understand why those four spaces would give me a problem. The "output of
          what" is coming from where? It looks like I do have zlib output
          compression ala phpinfo().
