Hey :)

I'd like to say sorry to begin with, because im learning PHP, and all i keep doing is come back here for advice, so i'd be more than understanding if you lot didnt help me anymore!

My problem now is:

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start (http://clubpixels.co.uk/callum/function.session-start)]: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /home/clubpixe/public_html/callum/index.php:10) in /home/clubpixe/public_html/callum/index.php on line 20

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start (http://clubpixels.co.uk/callum/function.session-start)]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/clubpixe/public_html/callum/index.php:10) in /home/clubpixe/public_html/callum/index.php on line 20

that comes up on my log in form

Now the code it mentions is this:


<?php

session_start();
include("config.php");

if(isset($_SESSION['logged_in'])) {

}

And i just dont know what i've done wrong.... Knowing me it'll be a very silly mistake... and if its not too much to ask, If you do try and help can you tell me how you came to that conclusion so i can learn rather than copy and paste??

Thank yooo :)

You need to put session_start(); before anything else on the page, so you could just do <?php session_start(); ?> right at the top of the page, before any other code.

Thing is though..... Its on a page with Div's etc.... Does this mean that just;

<? session_start (); ?> goes before the Div or is it that enter phrase inc. the config.php and stuff???

Thanks again :)

Lol well now you know :)

In my php, after youve logged in it goes to index.php and on that page i have the sessio_[username] thing from the other page, and it doesnt show up :(

Anyway i can help that? I might just play around with it?
Thanks again :d

You have session_start on every page yes? I assume you are setting the sessions correctly as well :]
Might be able to be more helpful if you post your code.
