PHP Login Logs in but only correct on a refresh

[exceedinglife]

Hello all,

I have a php login project that I am almost finished with. I have users in a table and I can login with the users BUT when I click the login button I get

	Notice: session_start(): A session had already been started - ignoring in E:\xampp\htdocs\PHP_Login\index.php on line 53

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at E:\xampp\htdocs\PHP_Login\index.php:53) in E:\xampp\htdocs\PHP_Login\index.php on line 60
	

When I click the refresh button I get what I am supposed to get and I am logged in to the dashboard.

 

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set("display_errors", "1");
  // Initialize SESSION
    session_start();
  // Check if logged in ifso sent to Welcome.php
    if(isset($_SESSION["loggedin"]) && $_SESSION["loggedin"] === true) {
        header("Location: php/welcome.php");
        exit;
    }
  // Include config mySQL
    require_once "php/config.php";
  // Define all variables and initialize them as 'empty'
    $username = $password = "";
    $usernameerror = $passworderror = "";

  // Process form data when submitted
  if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
      // Check if username is empty.
      if(empty(trim($_POST["username"]))) {
          $usernameerror = "Please enter a username";
      } else {
          $username = trim($_POST["username"]);
      }
      // Check if password is empty.
      if(empty(trim($_POST["password"]))) {
          $passworderror = "Please enter a password";

if you fix what's causing the first error message, the second one will go away. why do you have two session_start() statements?
