CSS Stopping Next Page Loading

justlukeyou · March 13, 2011

I have a script which registers people to a database, however it doing something very strange. Whenever I place it into even a single CSS div it adds the registration to the dabase but stops loading the next page (index.php)

I find this totally bizarre as I haven't seen anything like this behave before. With CSS affecting how PHP works. Especially when the CSS is not inside the <php> of <form> tags.

<?php

include("connect.php");

if($_POST['submit']) {
    $username = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['username']));
    $password = trim($_POST['password']);
    $password2 = trim($_POST['password2']);
    $email = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['email']));
    $error = false;
    
    if(!isset($username) || empty($username)) {
        $error = "You need to enter a username.";
    }
    $query = mysql_query("SELECT id FROM users WHERE username = '".$username."' LIMIT 1");
    if(mysql_num_rows($query) > 0 && !$error) {
        $error = "Sorry, that username is already taken!";
    }
    
    if((!isset($password) || empty($password)) && !$error) {
        $error = "You need to enter a password.";
    }
    if((!isset($password2) || empty($password2)) && !$error) {
        $error = "You need to enter your password twice.";
    }
    if($password != $password2 && !$error) {
        $error = "The passwords you entered did not match.";
    }
    
    if((!isset($email) || empty($email)) && !$error) {
        $error = "You need to enter an email.";
    }
    if(preg_match("/[a-zA-Z0-9-.+]+@[a-zA-Z0-9-]+.[a-zA-Z]+/", $email) == 0 && !$error) {
        $error = "The email you entered is not valid.";
    }
    $query = mysql_query("SELECT id FROM users WHERE email = '".$email."' LIMIT 1");
    if(mysql_num_rows($query) > 0 && !$error) {
        $error = "Sorry, that email is already in use!";
    }
    
    if(!$error) {
        $query = mysql_query("INSERT INTO users (username, password, email) VALUES ('".$username."', '".mysql_real_escape_string(md5($password))."', '".$email."')");
        if($query) {
            $message = "Hello ".$_POST['username'].",\r\n\r\nThanks for registering! We hope you enjoy your stay.\r\n\r\nThanks,\r\nJohn Doe";
            $headers = "From: ".$website['name']." <".$website['email'].">\r\n";
            mail($_POST['email'], "Welcome", $message, $headers);
            setcookie("user", mysql_insert_id(), $time);
            setcookie("pass", mysql_real_escape_string(md5($password)), $time);
            header("Location: index.php");
        } else {
            $error = "There was a problem with the registration. Please try again.";
        }
    }
}

I'm going to guess it is a header issue, but I don't see any of the CSS you're talking about.

This is the copy with css in, but I have never come across this problem before and I have the same pafe displaying another PHP script which echos infromation from a database.

As KP suspected, it's going to be a header issue. You absolutely cannot have any output whatsoever before sending any header() to the browser.

justlukeyou · March 13, 2011

Thanks,

Im a bit confused about what I need to do to get it work.

Does it need to use: header("Location: index.php");

At the top of the forum is a topic that deals with header errors.
