Pawan_Agarwal Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I am using this code <?php session_start(); // store session data $_SESSION['views']=1; ?> <html> <body> <?php //retrieve session data echo "<br><br>Pageviews=". $_SESSION['views']; if(isset($_SESSION['views'])) $_SESSION['views']=$_SESSION['views']+1; else $_SESSION['views']=1; echo "<br><br>Views=". $_SESSION['views']; ?> </body> </html> it is giving error, I don't know how to remove it. Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at C:\xampp\htdocs\prac\session1.php:2) in C:\xampp\htdocs\prac\session1.php on line 3 Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/279229-session-in-php/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
xenLiam Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Put ob_start() after opening <?php. This is probably due to the whitespace you have. As such: <?php ob_start(); // Output buffering session_start(); // store session data $_SESSION['views']=1; ?> <html> <body> <?php //retrieve session data echo "<br><br>Pageviews=". $_SESSION['views']; if(isset($_SESSION['views'])) $_SESSION['views']=$_SESSION['views']+1; else $_SESSION['views']=1; echo "<br><br>Views=". $_SESSION['views']; ?> </body> </html> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/279229-session-in-php/#findComment-1436234 Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Put ob_start() after opening <?php. Better still, find what is causing the output and remove it. Output buffering has its uses, this hack is not one of them. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/279229-session-in-php/#findComment-1436246 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawan_Agarwal Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share Posted June 16, 2013 That was quick help, now I am stuck in another issue.......... I am developing counter on website, that will show the total number of visitors visited the website, however, the code I have created keeps on increment when I click same or different web pages <?php ///session_start(); $username = "********"; $password = "********"; $hostname = "********"; $database = "********"; $conn = mysql_connect($hostname, $username, $password, $database) or die("Could not connect: ".mysql_error()); $selected = mysql_select_db("*******",$conn) or die("Could not select database"); $result = mysql_query("SELECT * from visitors"); if(!$result) {echo(die("cannot execute:").mysql.error());} $total; /// $total will contain all the total visitors in website $i;//////temp variable //fetch thw data from the database while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $total=$row['Total']; } $_SESSION['views'] = $total; if(isset($_SESSION['views'])) { // store session data $total=$total+1; $result = mysql_query("UPDATE visitors SET Total='$total'") ; } $i=$total; $str="0000000".(string)$i; $len1=strlen($str); echo"<div class=\"desc2\">Visitor:"; while($len<$len1) { echo " <img src='/counter/crt/".$str[$len].".gif'/>"; $len++; } ?> </div> =================================================== I am looking for something that will update the visitor number as soon as website is hitted, after that it should remain static, but the code I have written is increasing the counter as I am clicking the website again and again......

trq Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Of course it does. Your not recording wether or not this actual page has already been counted or not. I suggest you start another thread if your stuck. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/279229-session-in-php/#findComment-1436252 Share on other sites More sharing options...

xenLiam Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 When you're inserting a page view count to the database, log its IP address too. That way, you can check if the IP address is already registered and if it is, don't count it anymore. Not the most fool-proof method, but that works.
