I guess your file is utf-8 encoded?

Store your file as utf-8 without BOM.

stored but, still not working..

my friend told me that it might work if i editted php.ini and made following changes

; Initialize session on request startup.
session.auto_start = 1

but, even after restarting xampp, it didn't work

Well, if "<?php session_start(); ?>" is the (very) first line in your code, and the file have no BOM, this must work (without changing anything.

And it starts at very beginning of the line (no spaces in front).

upload your file to rapidshare (or similar), so we can see the original file you are using.
