Maybe you're trying to do session_start() more than once.

Try this:
<?php
echo 'ini_get('session.auto_start') is ',
ini_get('session.auto_start'), "<br>\n";
echo 'before session_start() session_id() returns ', session_id(),
"<br>\n";

// You may want to replace your session_start()s with this too
if (!session_id()) session_start();

echo 'after session_start() session_id() returns ', session_id(),
"<br>\n";
?>
