sstoveld Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 hey guys, having lots of trouble with my school assignment. i need to build a fake dvd lending library for bob dylan. users must login to be able to rent a dvd. im just working on the login right now. when a user logs in, it is supposed to redirect them to members.php, but for some reason it is not. i also am getting plenty of warnings. users can login ok, but it just wont redirect. here's the url: http://stovelddesign.com/INF216/final/index.php a test login you can use is: User Name: test Pasword:test <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Insert Data From Text File</title> <link href="styles/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" /> </head> <body> <div id="wrapper"> <div id="banner"> <h1><center><a href="index.php">Bob Dylan DVD Rental</a></center></h1> </div><!-- banner --> <div id="mainContent"> <h2>Lending Library</h2> <?php // This is a Bob Dylan Lending Library.

taith Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 cant use header() after content has been parsed... either switch your core to verify account before outputing, or echoing meta redirects instead.

sstoveld Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 cant use header() after content has been parsed... either switch your core to verify account before outputing, or echoing meta redirects instead. to tell you the truth, i have no idea what you just said im rushing to get my final project done by sunday and found most of this code on about.com do i even need to have it redirect to a new page? im not worried about any sort of security as im rushing through this and its only a class project. could i just have it all in the index.php? EDIT: im also receiving these warning: Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/s/s/t/sstoveld/html/INF216/final/index.php:12) in /home/content/s/s/t/sstoveld/html/INF216/final/index.php on line 98 Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/s/s/t/sstoveld/html/INF216/final/index.php:12) in /home/content/s/s/t/sstoveld/html/INF216/final/index.php on line 99 Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/s/s/t/sstoveld/html/INF216/final/index.php:12) in /home/content/s/s/t/sstoveld/html/INF216/final/index.php on line 102 Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/156344-login-not-directing-to-members-area/#findComment-823162 Share on other sites More sharing options...
laffin Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 if yer login systen doesnt need a login successful page than no, a redirect isnt needed on the login successful page u can inlcude the members page (again, if nothing is outputted) sumfin like if(!$loggedin) die('Invalid Login'); include('members.php'); simple and effective Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/156344-login-not-directing-to-members-area/#findComment-823220 Share on other sites More sharing options...
