Also, look at the error reporting level in the php.ini file on your server.

Change to this:

error_reporting = E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE

What you're getting, is a Warning notice, and not an error. Depending on your code, you'll probably also be getting annoying notices.

Wait, are you using Dreamweaver generated code? Leapiin' lizards, batman. There be your first mistake. Take a little time to learn the code, and you will be a lot better off.

Ok. I see your problem as you are including your pages at the bottom of index.php and in the files you are including has sessin_start(). Now you cant use session_start when you have outputed something to the browser ie text/html. In index.php you have html being outputted which iso n line 13 and so you get the warning message about headers already sent.

To resolve the issue take out session_start() from any files you are including into index.php and place session_start as the first line in index.php. So the top part of index.php should look like this and any other files being included must have session_start striped out of them:
[code]<?php
session_start();

if (!isset($_GET['page']))
{
        $url="index.php?page=home";
        header("Location: /Rockcliff Rugby Club/".$url);
        exit;
}[/code]

this is supposed to take you back to the login page because you are not logged in

the code used for this page
[code]
<?php
if (!$_SESSION['admin_ID'])
    {
        header("Location: index.php?page=login");
        exit;
    }
    else
    {
        $admin_ID = $_SESSION['admin_ID'];
    }
?>
Bookings
[/code]


the login form is workin fine now without any errors thanks for your help

if you could help me with this last problem it would be great.

thank you, Malcolm
