Needing help with an error.

supermerc · December 6, 2006

Hey.

Im trying to have a page where when you login it brings you to that page and on the side theres information on your member stuff like username and name. Right now im able to do that but I get an error doing it. This is what im getting

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/xgame/public_html/random/index2.php:9) in /home/xgame/public_html/random/index2.php on line 146

You are logged in as supermerc

So it works, it tells me who im logged in as. Buts theres that error on top that I cant get ride of.

These are my lines 144-151

[code]<?php
ob_start();
session_start();
{
echo '<p>You are logged in as '.$_SESSION['s_username'].'</p>';
}
ob_end_flush();
?>[/code]

Also if you want to try it out to see what the problem is the site is http://xgame6overx.com/random/ You can use, supermerc as username and the pass is ilmilm.

Thank you.

what's the curly brackets for?

supermerc · December 6, 2006

The book im using to learn from has them

The error is just as it says...

more info here: http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,37442.0.html

You cant send headers... eg. cookies, header(), sessions... after displaying content (without output buffering EVERYTHING, it doesn't work in your example since it's halfway down the page)

You also don't need those curly brackets, like willfitch pointed out..

On a side note that template you have there is quite bold, I like it! Though it's too big for 800x600. And the text is too small for my resolution :D

</TABLE>

</BODY>
</HTML>[/code]

The only reason why i put it there is because i want the You are logged in as (username) in that table.

willfitch · December 6, 2006

session_start() goes at the VERY beginning:

<?php
session_start();
?>
<html> ....

supermerc · December 6, 2006

so do I remove the other place where i got it too, i just leave the echo?

genericnumber1 · December 6, 2006

yeah, just leave the echo, and put the session_start(); at the VERY top of your script, not even a line break outside PHP tags before it. You don't even need to output buffer that tiny little section with the echo, all it is doing right now is slowing down the script a little.

supermerc · December 6, 2006

I removed it and now it looks like this

<TD COLSPAN=2 ROWSPAN=4 background=images/image_36.gif WIDTH=220 HEIGHT=200 ALT=>
echo '<p>You are logged in as '.$_SESSION['s_username'].'</p>'
</TD>

It shows up as text.

roopurt18 · December 6, 2006

You use <?php and ?> to jump in and out of PHP mode. If you're inside of the <?php and ?> "tags," the text is interpreted as PHP and run as PHP. If you're outside the tags it's seen as plain old text, whether or not it's HTML.

[code]
<?php
session_start();
?>
<html>
<head><title>hi2u</title></head>
<body>
<?
// back inside php! YIPPEE!
echo "my 'hi2u' page!<br />";
?>
</body>
</html>
[/code]

supermerc · December 6, 2006

Thanks alot man it works now !

Zane · December 6, 2006

i know it's off topic, but I really like your site.
I just wish it wasn't old-schooled
(spacer.gifs and TABLES)

did you do all the graphics yourself?

supermerc · December 6, 2006

thx, and yes I did it all myself.

What do you mean old school lol

if thats old school what is new school?

Zane · December 6, 2006

well more or less I mean old school as in spacer.gif
I swear I saw one

the new school would be padding

and as far as tables go...CSS
