    Assist me correct the error...it says:
    Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\46135\DynoLink\support\Activate.php:2) in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\46135\DynoLink\support\connect.php on line 25
    This is my connect.php:
    <?php
    // connect to the server
    $connect = mysql_connect("192.168.170.15", "46135", "46135");
    // $con = mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "pass");

    //test if the connection was successful
    if(!$connect){
    //display an error message and quit the page if connection failed.
    echo "Server Connection Failed.<br/>";
    echo "Error: <strong>".mysql_error()."</strong><br/>";
    }

    // connect to the database
    $db = mysql_select_db("db46135");
    // $db = mysql_select_db("");

    // test if the database connection was successful
    if(!$connect){
    //display an error message and quit the page if connection failed.
    echo "Database Connection Failed.<br/>";
    echo "Error: <strong>".mysql_error()."</strong><br/>";
    }

    //begins the session on every database connection OR carries forward a session that is already running
    session_start();
    ?>


    and my activate.php:
    <!--connection to the database-->
    <?php

    require_once('connect.php');
    //gets the pin number of the account to be activated that has been passed to the page
    $pin = $_GET['pin'];
    ?>

    in connect.php you should have session_start(); just after <?php, not at the bottom

    session_start() always come at the top of the script... you write in the bottom of the script... no statement will be executed before the session_start()....
    if you write at the top you can eliminate the warning and error...:cool:
