php7 session_start() times out page

I recently got back into programming in PHP and I've encountered a strange issue. Using session_start() on any .php file causes the server to time out and return This webpage is not available. I have Session Support and cookies both enabled.

Literally only this will time out my server:

<?php
    session_start();
?>

I've used this code in the past to manage logins but I've only now had this problem. Has something changed? Am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance.

In PHP7, The options parameter was added for session_start().

See more about session configuration.

In addition to the normal set of configuration directives, a read_and_close option may also be provided. If set to TRUE, this will result in the session being closed immediately after being read.

Perhaps the issue is related to the use_only_cookies variable that you can find in the Session's section of the php.ini file. Apache will crash if the use_only_cookies variable in the Session's section is set to 0 and everything is fine if it's set to 1.

You also checked that the use_strict_mode should be set to 1.
