[SOLVED] session cookies

[sprint10s]

This is the error im getting

 

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /home/www/standridgemotorsports.com/sponsor.php:11) in /home/www/standridgemotorsports.com/auth.inc.php on line 2

 

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/www/standridgemotorsports.com/sponsor.php:11) in /home/www/standridgemotorsports.com/auth.inc.php on line 2

 

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/www/standridgemotorsports.com/sponsor.php:11) in /home/www/standridgemotorsports.com/auth.inc.php on line 7

You are being redirected to the login screen!

(If your browser does not support this, click here)

 

below here is the auth file code

<?php 
session_start();
if (isset($_SESSION['logged']) && $_SESSION['logged'] == 1) {
// Do Nothing
} else {
$redirect = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
header("Refresh: 5; URL=login.php?redirect=$redirect");
echo "You are being redirected to the login screen!<br>";
echo "(If your browser does not support this, " . 
	"<a href=\"login.php?redirect=$redirect\">click here</a>)";
die();
}
?>

 

can anyone help me figure out whats going on.  basically i got two other files a login.php and sponsor.php i want to protect the sponsor.php page so they have to login with the right credentials in order to see the contents of the sponsor.php page.

 

thanks for any help

You can not echo after you send header()

You have it backwards.

 

All headers MUST be sent prior to any output.  This means all calls to header() and all functions that send or modify headers as a side-effect, such as session_start(), MUST occur before any output has gone to the browser.

 

You can not echo anything, not even a blank line, to the browser before the headers are sent.

thanks, that was the problem i had a html doc line before the header instead of after.  Works great now.  Thanks.

Ah, that is so - my bad.
