Hello!

 

So iv almost finished my login page, when i went to test the page i'm getting this error. 

 

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /var/sites/c/cheatbook.co.uk/public_html/test/login.php:4) in/var/sites/c/cheatbook.co.uk/public_html/test/login.php on line 29

 

Heres my code for the login page.

<?php include 'core/init.php';?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<?php include 'includes/head.php';?>
<body>
<?php include 'includes/header.php'; ?> 

<div class="container">
<h2>Login</h2>
<hr>

<?php
if (empty($_POST) === false) { 
	$username = $_POST['username']; 
	$password = $_POST['password']; 
	
	if (empty($username) === true || empty($password) === true) {
		$errors[] = '<div class="alert alert-info"> You need to enter a username and password </div>';
	}	else if (user_exists($username) === false) {
		$errors[] = '<div class="alert alert-danger">We can\'t find that username. Have you registered?</div>';
	} else if (user_active($username) === false) {
		$errors[] = '<div class="alert alert-warning">You haven\'t activated your account!</div>';
	} else {
		$login = login($username, $password);
		if ($login === false) {
			$errors[] = '<div class="alert alert-info"> That username/password combination is incorrect. </div>';
		} else {
			$_SESSION['user_id'] = $login;
			header('Location: index.php');
			exit();
		}
	}	
	print_r($errors);
}
?>

You cannot all header() after you have sent any output to the browser.
 
You should rearrange your code so you process the login before your output anything to the browser

<?php
include 'core/init.php';

if (empty($_POST) === false) { 
  $username = $_POST['username']; 
  $password = $_POST['password']; 
  
  if (empty($username) === true || empty($password) === true) {
    $errors[] = '<div class="alert alert-info"> You need to enter a username and password </div>';
  } else if (user_exists($username) === false) {
    $errors[] = '<div class="alert alert-danger">We can\'t find that username. Have you registered?</div>';
  } else if (user_active($username) === false) {
    $errors[] = '<div class="alert alert-warning">You haven\'t activated your account!</div>';
  } else {
    $login = login($username, $password);
    if ($login === false) {
      $errors[] = '<div class="alert alert-info"> That username/password combination is incorrect. </div>';
    } else {
      $_SESSION['user_id'] = $login;
      header('Location: index.php');
      exit();
    }
  } 
}

?>
