[SOLVED] header() confusion


Eggzorcist

Recommended Posts

this is the error I'm getting.

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at index.php:11) in functions.php on line 30

 

what I am trying to do is get the header to work in the functions.php file, functions.php is included at the very top of the page, I'm not sure why I'm getting this as an issue...

 

Any help much appreciated, thanks

Read the error:

output started at index.php:11 (line 11)

 

You would need to determine what index.php is doing on (or up to) line 11 that is producing output and either eliminate it (assuming it is unintentional) or rearrange your logic (assuming the output is intentional) so that the output occurs after the header() statement or the header() statement is before the code sending the output.

Here's my code...

<?php  require_once('functions.php');

if(isset($_POST['login'])){

login_user($_POST['login_email'], $_POST['login_pass']);

} 

?>

 function login_user($email, $password){

$username = secure_var($email);
$password = md5($password);

if ($username != NULL and $password != NULL){

	$login_query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM user_info WHERE email = '$email' AND password = '$password'");

	$login_status = mysql_num_rows($login_query);
	$login_vars = mysql_fetch_array($login_query);


	if($login_status == 1){

	set_login_sessions($login_vars['email'], $password, $login_vars['auth']);
	header('Location: usercp.php');
	exit;

}

else { echo "The entered username and/or password are incorrect. Please try again."; }

}

else { echo "Please enter a username and/or password."; }


}

Your index.php file either has a bunch of crap before the <?php tag or your functions.php file is outputting something. If you put the opening <?php tag in index.php on a line by itself (move the require_once() statement down so it is on the line after the <?php tag) you can tell if the output is something in index.php or functions.php

The error doesn't seam to match your code,

can you post the full functions.php and index.php

 

also in your login_user function shouldn't

email = '$email'

  be

email = '$username' 

in the following

	$username = secure_var($email);
$password = md5($password);
if ($username != NULL and $password != NULL){
	$login_query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM user_info WHERE email = '$email' AND password = '$password'");
