How can I fix this?

Warning: ini_set() [function.ini-set]: A session is active. You cannot change the session module's ini settings at this time in C:\xampp\htdocs******.php on line 3

I already tried using session_destroy(); but I still get the error.

Thanks.

use session_start(); after ini_set or @ sign before ini_set: @ini_set
