Solution

  • You should not echo anything before sending headers.

    <?php
    function clearBrowserCache() {
        header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");
        header ("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT");  
        header ("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate");  
        header ("Pragma: no-cache");
    }
    clearBrowserCache();
    
    $_SESSION['test']="demo";
    echo $_SESSION['test'];
    ?>
    

    Otherwise, enable output_buffering in the php.ini
