ginerjm Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 You need to add another for error checking to actually show you them. ini_set('display_errors', '1'); This will show the error types that you selected in the previous line on your screen. Be sure to turn this off before putting into production. And then to correct your first error: The message is telling it doesn't expect to see the "session_start();" line. That's because you didn't finish the line above it. Needs a semi..... In the future - you'll get better response if you use a topic title that better describes your problem - please help is just so newbie-ish.
