you are missing the function called "admin_check()", should be decleared above the request for it or in a included script.

thx for your reply , the function " admin_check(); is defined here in my session.php
:
:
<?php
session_start();
session_name( 'MyPHPSite' );
header( "Cache-conrol : private"); // Fix for IE
function login_check(){
if($_SESSION['login'] != TRUE ){
myheader("Login Required!");
include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].
'/bpo/html/forms/login_form.html';

footer();
exit();
}
}
function admin_check(){
if($_SESSION['admin_access']{
myheader("Access Denied!")
echo "<center>This Area is Restricted".
" For Website Administrators!";
footer();
exit();
}
}
?>

then you must include or rather require session.php in your script, like this - assuming the same path:
[code]
<?php
require $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/bpo/session.php';
include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/bpo/layout.php';

// Quick Admin session check
admin_check();

// bla bla, script goes on

?>
[/code]

Try
[code]
if(!$_POST['cat_name'] || !$_POST['cat_description']){
echo "<p align='center'>Missing Form Information!</p><br>
<p align='center'>Please use your browser back button and complete the form.</p>";

[Mr.x]

I don't have time to look at the code of the script, but a possible quick fix could be putting on line 1
[code] <? session_start(); ?> [/code]
I'm not 100% sure.

[shortj75]

this just means your sessions are already started from one of the pages session.php or layout.php and can not be started again

place this at the top of your page it will stop your page from showing the warning or notice errors

[code]
<? error_reporting(E_ERROR);?>
[/code][

[wildteen88]

if its a warning then apprentice webmaster's script wont run at all!

apprentice webmaster the error message is saying you have somethikng being outputted to the browser near/on line 45 in clsMetaContent.php

What is around line 45 in clsMetaContent.php. Could you post lines 40 - 50.
