I have a problem with the function session_start(); as it blocks file execution (i.e page loads forever) to even after PHP Max execution time, i thought it was a problem with my code however i cleared all my files and just used this simple script to test and it didn't work
<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['name'] = "foo";
$name = $_SESSION['name'];
echo "My name is $name";
I'm using WAMP server version 3.0.6 64bit, Apache 2.4.23 - PHP 5.6.25 - MySQL 5.7.14

if you are using file sessions you will need to close writing to the session to prevent multiple PHP requests (that need $_SESSION data) from blocking.
example:
<?php
// start the session
session_start();
// I can read/write to session
$_SESSION['latestRequestTime'] = time();
// close the session
session_write_close();
// now do my long-running code.

EDIT: SOLVED - Thanks to the comment by #Adam
I have my index.php page, which all included functionality, until now, has worked.
I've written a small script (pasted below), using the Simple HTML DOM library to scrape an external webpage for an element value. This value is stored as $newprice inside the script.
However, when I place the script anywhere in the code, it a) doesn't run, and b) breaks all HTML/PHP/JS code preceding it.
<?php
include_once('../simple_html_dom.php');
$html = file_get_html('https://www.affordrentacar.co.uk/');
$traverse = $html->find('span.offer-price', 0);
$newprice = $traverse->plaintext;
?>
I've copied this script to one of my other PHP pages and tested echoing out the $newprice variable and that works fine. What could be causing this?
try to display errors :
error_reporting( E_ALL^E_NOTICE );
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
can be problem with connections, your local settings don't work with https

I am trying to create an image that changes dependent on the genre grabbed from an icecast server, I am pretty sure I have the base code correct I think I've just incorrectly inputted the PHP variable.
<?php
$stats = $core->radioInfo( "http://http://sc.onlyhabbo.net:8124/status-json.xsl" );
?>
<img src=http://www.habbo.com/habbo-imaging/avatarimage?user=<?php
echo $stats['genre'];
?>&action=std&direction=2&head_direction=2&gesture=sml&size=m&img_format=gif/>
is the full code. Have I inputted the PHP variable incorrectly
Where are the quotes in your Html?
<img src="http://www.habbo.com/habbo-imaging/avatarimage?user=<?php
echo $stats['genre'];
?>&action=std&direction=2&head_direction=2&gesture=sml&size=m&img_format=gif"/>
UPDATE EVERYBODY
This is now resolved, I decided to go down the CURL route for this, and at first it didn't work until my host raised our CloudLinux Process Limit. I am unsure what the actual issue with this code was, but the CURL route works fine. Thank you for any answers

When I try to require a file into my HTML, my web page isn't loading anymore.
The file I want to require is empty so it isn't a scripting error.
require_once('required/dbClass.php');
session_start();
$_SESSION['user'] = 'Test User';
$testing=true;
This code above is working just fine and my page is loading as it is supposed to.
But when I try the next code, my page isn't loading anymore
require 'config.php';
require_once('required/dbClass.php');
session_start();
$_SESSION['user'] = 'Test User';
$testing=true;
I don't know what's wrong, I've tried getting an error with error_reporting(E_ALL); but that doesn't display anything.
Did I do something wrong?
Config.php was in a different directory

I am in the process of incorporating a Blog Posts section in my website.
However I am receiving an error message on the New Post page which I am unsure of the cause of.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have received the above two Warning Error messages above.
I have also covered parts of the directory because they show names.
This is what the code looks like at the line specified.
<?php
include "cms/posts.php";
?>
Line 155 is the middle line of code.
If there is any more information which is required please let me know.
Thanks!
Reply to comment 1: Hi, I'm not sure why it is trying to open that file as I've never seen or heard of the file "usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php".
Use this code and make sure the file exists:
<?php
include __DIR__ . "/cms/posts.php"; // PHP >= 5.3
include dirname(__FILE__) . "/cms/posts.php"; // PHP < 5.3
?>

I've been using session_start() fine with my other PHP files. Now however, I am trying to put functions into one file and then be able to call them from various other PHP files.
I simply have this in one file:
<?php require("CustomerFunctions.php");
start_session();
PrintCustomerTable();
?>
However I am getting Fatal error: Call to undefined function start_session()
Again, I am able to use start_session everywhere else in my files but now for some reason it won't work in this file. It has the same result even if I remove the require.
The function you're looking for is called session_start().
