Login Script Problem...

[puritystandsout]

Please could you help?  Here is my script:

[code]
<?php
// start the session
session_start();

$errorMessage = '';
if ( (isset($_POST['username'])) && (isset($_POST['password'])) ) {
  include '../db/config.php';
  include '../db/opendb.php';

  $username = $_POST['username'];
  $password = $_POST['password'];
  $password_hashed = md5($password);
 

  // check if the user id and password combination exist in database
  $sql = "SELECT *
  FROM accounts
  WHERE username = '$username'
  AND password = '$password_hashed' ";

  $result = mysql_query($sql)
or die('Query failed. ' . mysql_error());

  if (mysql_num_rows($result) == 1) {
  // the user id and password match,
  // set the session
  while ($member_details_array = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {

$member_id = $member_details_array['member_id'];

$_SESSION[$member_id] = true;
}
 


  // after login we move to the main page
  header("Location: main.php");
  exit;
  } else {
  $errorMessage = 'Sorry, wrong username and password combination';
  }


  include '../db/closedb.php';
}
?>
[/code]
----------------------------------------------

It seems to do all the db stuff ok, logs the user in but I get this error:

Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by ...

Many Thanks in advance for your help.

Fixed it sorry to bother you.

For the benefit of the community it was blank lines after my closing ?> and the beginning of my html!

Thats all!

sometimes it's better to get more sessions set ok like.

$_SESSION['name'];
ect
ect

then in the future you can use them ok.

good luck.
