Hi,

I've experienced a client's Magento not sending product alerts to customers.

Upon debugging I've found that template/email/productalert/price.phtml and stock.phtml contain <?php echo $_product->getProductUrl() ?> , which throw Exception about starting session after headers had been sent.

Now, public function getProductUrl($product, $useSid = true) will use a session unless $useSid is set to false.

As I do not see a meaning of session in cron job, I've been able to fix this problem by setting <?php echo $_product->getProductUrl(false) ?> in email templates.

But then the exception started to happen on <?php echo Mage::helper('core')->currency($_product->getPrice()) ?>
Which is fair, because $store->getCurrentCurrencyCode() will call $this->_getSession() , and the same problem persists.

I suggest having a global flag of NOT using session, and set it for scripts like cron.php
