help sought!! (hardworking newbie)

[scrooge]

I would be grateful if anyone can help me solve this problem I'm having parsing these scripts.

My connection to my database is working fine.

Parse error: parse error in /home/user/public_html/mydb/mydb_fns.php on line 54

 

Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /home/user/public_html/mydb/mydb_fns.php:54) in /home/user/public_html/mydb/index.php on line 6

 

Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/user/public_html/mydb/mydb_fns.php:54) in /home/user/public_html/mydb/index.php on line 6

The first paragraph is refering to the following line code (54):

 

$url = "show_cat.php?cat_id=".($row[ "cat_id" ]);

 

which is from an mydb_fns.php

 

The second and third paragraph is refering to the following line code (6):

 

session_start();

 

which is from index.php calling the functions placed in include.php (above)

 

 

I am new to this business and any assistance would be much appreciated.

check for whitespace in your index.php file by placing your cursor after the last ?> and pressing delete also check at the beginning before <?php

Thanks for the reply '241', but I've already done that and the problem still persists.

 

By the way the 'include.php' is actually the 'mydb_fns.php' (my bad)

sorry wrong file should be the 'mydb_fns.php' file

 

the other file to try is english.php samething whitespace the problem is a whitespace somewhere.

 

Do not use the filemanager for this I have seen too many problems from people using filemanager to try and edit files.

 

use a proper editor and edit offline then reload
