Ah, easy peasy. The DOCTYPE declaration has to be the first line in your
generated output - in other words, what the browser sees. The session code
is only for the PHP interpreter on the server, and is never passed to the
browser.

As a matter of process, I try to keep all my PHP data wrangling and session
handling stuff as the first thing in the file, above where the HTML starts.
It's easier to find and deal with that way, and in some cases won't work
elsewhere anyway. But, I make sure the first line in my generated HTML code
is the DOCTYPE declaration.

Hope that makes sense.
