You are sending data before the session_start() call. Don't do
that. This includes blank lines, warning messages, and any text.
Move the session_start() call earlier.

This obviously isn't the real code. The variety of ways you spell
"last" and "visit" make that obvious. Did you want braces around
the statements after the "else"? What is on line 2?
