Problems with setting up sessions.

[sudip_dg77]

Hello,

 

I am trying to set up a loging script but I keep on getting this error:

 

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /home/kuuja/public_html/test/verify.php:2) in /home/kuuja/public_html/test/verify.php on line 3

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/kuuja/public_html/test/verify.php:2) in /home/kuuja/public_html/test/verify.php on line 3
Password does not match 

 

 

The code I wrote is here:

 

<?php
session_start();<BR>
?>
----MY HTML CODE HERE----------------
<?php
$user_id = $_POST['user_id'];
$password = $_POST['password'];

$myDatabase = "kuuja_business";


$con = mysql_connect("localhost:3306","kuuja_admin","admin1");

if (!$con)

  {

  die('Could not connect to Database: ' . mysql_error());

  }



@mysql_select_db($myDatabase, $con) or die("Unable to select database");

$result_user = mysql_query("SELECT user_id FROM user WHERE user_id = '$user_id'");
$row1 = mysql_fetch_array($result_user);
$user = $row1['user_id'];


$result_password = mysql_query("SELECT password FROM user WHERE password = '$password'");
$row2 = mysql_fetch_array($result_password);
$pass = $row2['password'];

$result_fname = mysql_query("SELECT fname FROM user WHERE user_id = '$user_id'");
$row3 = mysql_fetch_array($result_fname);
$name = $row3['fname'];

if ($user)
{
if ($pass)
{

	echo "Hello $name\n\n";

	echo "Welcome to the members area, you can use the options on your left to navigate through the pages\n\n";

	echo "Do also remember to include yourself in our rotation software by the option available under the Settings link on the left";

}
else
{

	echo "Password does not match";
    session_destroy();
}
}
else
{
echo "User Id does not match";
  session_destroy();


}

mysql_close($con);

?>

 

Can you please help?

What is the BR for?

 

Also, if you use a editor like Dreamweaver, it puts plain text before the <?php

No it doesn't work I opened the file in notepad and removed all the lines, spaces etc. before session_start(), still it didn't help. Still I get the error..

 

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /home/kuuja/public_html/test/verify.php:2) in /home/kuuja/public_html/test/verify.php on line 3

Is there any other way to handle a login script other than this way??

That is saying there is still something before your session_start();

[sudip_dg77]

Yes it is working now....thanks a lot!! I guess there was something before the session_start() which I couldn't see, i deleted the first two lines and re-wrote it, that solved the problem.
