Thanks to those who responded.
It appears that if NO output is done prior to the header() function then the
session_start() will still work.
Normally for debugging I display some variables as output and it appears
that is what was biting me.
As someone once said decades ago: "If the computer is smart enough to know
its incorrect, then why isn't it smart enough to correct it?"
Thanks again,
Bob
