@Harjeet `@` doesn't solve the problem, it just hides the error message. The header is still not being set. — deceze, Jun 27 '13 at 05:56
@deceze : oh is it so, i didn't know that, I always use to do like this only whenever I get this kind of server error. — Harjeet Jadeja, Jun 27 '13 at 05:59
@Harjeet Oh boy... -_-;; Well, stop doing that. Fix your problems, don't hide them. — deceze, Jun 27 '13 at 06:00
@deceze : is there any security issue on code if I use `@session` ? — Harjeet Jadeja, Jun 27 '13 at 06:03
@Harjeet Not particularly, but if the session header is not getting set and you don't know because you're not seeing the error message, your whole login system doesn't work and you have no idea why. — deceze, Jun 27 '13 at 06:05

Make sure you have nothing that outputs to the browser before those lines and delete any unessasary whitespace from that code up.

Check your require_once('../../Admin Panel/db.php'); file. if session is start in this file then you need to include it above the HTML tags.
