Are you sure the error is within that page?

I only get 46 lines.

Not necessarily. Try removing the error suppression symbols (@) from your include files. See if that helps.

Do you try to start a session again in either, new_database.php, or new_login.php?

Also inclued or require should take the following format:
include 'filename.php';
include_once 'filename.php';
require 'filename.php';
require_once 'filename.php';

See [uk3.php.net...]

Are you 100% sure the error is within this file and not one of the included ones?

And did you add the semi colons as mentioned earlier?

You can`t send any data to the browser before calling session_start. It works like the header function. This can include whitespace. You might want to read up on how sessions work:

Yes, there is a problem with the includes. You've left out a required part of the line "calling" the included files. You have:

<?php @include_once("ui_footer.php")?>

That is wrong. It should be:

<?php @include_once("ui_footer.php"); ?>

You have two of them with the semi-colon missing, and that's causing an error. That's what you have to fix first, before looking any further.

Your include will work but should not have the () round the file name. The include/require are special language constructs, and useing the () can lead to problems if checking a return value.

So (even though it works):
<?php @include_once("ui_footer.php"); ?>
should be:
<?php @include_once 'ui_footer.php'; ?>

I use the brackets all the time, they are not the problem.

And they are required, or should at least be there by best practice, because include/require is a function requiring arguments.
