How can PHP beginners effectively troubleshoot and resolve errors related to headers already sent when working with session variables?

Issue: The "headers already sent" error occurs when PHP tries to send headers (like session_start()) after output has already been sent to the browser. To resolve this issue, make sure there is no whitespace or HTML content before session_start() is called.

<?php
// Make sure there is no whitespace or HTML content before session_start()
session_start();

// Your PHP code here
?>
