Can't use ini_set because session is active

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.

Have you tried changing the parameters beforehand? – mario
@Gumbo ini_set('session.cookie_httponly', true); – user1453094
Well, change it before starting the session. – Gumbo
have you done a phpinfo() to see if your config has session.auto_start set on? – TerryE
I have the same sporadic random error with my custom session provider. I have no idea what it could be. – dAm2K

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

if you server is configured to auto start sessions, you can try also:

php_flag session.auto_start 0

in your .htaccess file
