[SOLVED] session_start(); trouble

[rh-penguin]

hi,

 

I've got the session_start(); function inserted on the second line in my index.php but when i try and view the page via browser i get this error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /var/www/index.php on line 2

.

It's definetlly the session_start() function thats causing this because if i remove it the page loads fine.

 

Can anyone tell me what could be wrong?

 

Thanks

whats before line 2?

[Dragen]

could you show us what's at line 2? and preferably a couple of lines above and below it.

[MadTechie]

can you show the first 5 lines of code..

This is the whole thing

<?php
session start();
if ((isset($_SESSION['user_logged']) && $_SESSION['user_logged'] != "") ||
(isset($_SESSION['user_password']) &&  $_SESSION['user_password'] != ""))
{ 
include "logged_user.php";
} else {
include "unlogged_user.php";
}

?>

[MadTechie]

change to

 

<?php
session_start();
if ( (isset($_SESSION['user_logged']) && ($_SESSION['user_logged'] != "") ||
( isset($_SESSION['user_password'])) &&  ($_SESSION['user_password'] != "") )
{ 
include "logged_user.php";
} else {
include "unlogged_user.php";
}

?>

 

Note the _ on session_start(); & the if statment was incorrect

dont seem to make any difference

[MadTechie]

i just tested this

 

<?php
session_start();
if (
( isset($_SESSION['user_logged']) && $_SESSION['user_logged'] != "") ||
( isset($_SESSION['user_password']) &&  $_SESSION['user_password'] != "")
)
{ 
//include "logged_user.php";
echo "logged_user.php";
} else {
//include "unlogged_user.php";
echo "unlogged_user.php";
}
die;
?>

 

result

unlogged_user.php

 

no errors

 

please post your revised code

[rh-penguin]

yea it works now...........

 

Thats strage, why does it seem to matter how i'm placing my code?

[MadTechie]

session_start(); works like a header

 

as for the rest you did miss the _ and a ) on the if

 

if you see how i broke up the if statement.. i did that to make it easier to read (well for me )

clumsyness.................

 

Thanks for the help all!

 

Happy easter!
