Header/Session snag - have read threads above but still stuck


Recommended Posts

Here are the error messages i get when i try to implement my session:

Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at c:\inetpub\wwwroot\login.php:1) in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\login.php on line 2

Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at c:\inetpub\wwwroot\login.php:1) in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\login.php on line 2

wanted to redirect you but i could not do it!

Here is the code i have:

<?php
session_start();
//Start the session, register the values and redirect.
$_SESSION['first_name'] = $row[1];
$_SESSION['user_id'] = $row[0];
if(!headers_sent()){
header("Location:http://localhost/logged_in.php");
exit();
}else{
echo'wanted to redirect you but i could not do it!';
}
if(isset($_POST['login'])){
$u = $_POST['Login_email'];
$p = $_POST['Password'];
//Connect to db.
require_once ('../mysql_connect.php');
$query = "SELECT user_id, first_name FROM users WHERE email='$u' AND password='$p'";
$result=@mysql_query($query);
$row=mysql_fetch_array($result,MYSQL_NUM);

if($row){//A match was made


}else{//No match was made
echo '<p>The email and password entered do not match those on file.</p>';
}
mysql_close();

}else{
?>

Any ideas why its gone pear shaped? I accept that the code is probably completely wrong. Let me have it, don't hold back!!
The error message is telling me that you have something being outputted to browser on line 1 in login.php

Now do you have any spaces before the [b]<?php[/b] tag also are you using notepad? If you are using notepade make sure you save file encoding to [b]ANSI[/b] and not [i]UFT-8[/i] or anything else otherwise somehidden chars get added to your file and so your get the headers already sent error message.
