hi, this is the code of mine.
some i got it from this site (
http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorials/77/1.php )
it's a tut about 'Customized Timeout Sessions'
i am trying to incoperate tat site code with mine. but i have very little knowleage about header thingly.
and i not sure what i did wrong here.
any suggestion would be appreciate, and some comment on how header works would be great.
what i know now about header is, we use header to redirect to other site, or pop user for a file to download.
anyway, this is my code,
and this is the error i received from firefox when i tried to run the code.
