Help w/ Session Script

Mattmanx

Hey guys, I used a script that stolzyboy had created for a simple login page, customized it a little, and put it up. It was working fine the past few days on my Win2k3 server, but I was having some problems with MySQL and decided to copy my webroot over to a new Win2k server. Both use IIS.

Now I am getting a wierd error when I load up the login script:

Notice: Undefined index: logged in c:\webroot\auth.inc.php on line 3
(Heres line 3): if ($_SESSION['logged'] != 1)
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at c:\webroot\auth.inc.php:3) in c:\webroot\auth.inc.php on line 6

I'm pretty sure there is either something wrong with my server settings or with my PHP settings in php.ini because of the new install. Nothing in the php files has changed and there is definately a session_start(); at the top of the auth.inc.php file. I'm pretty new to both webservers and php and was wondering if you guys could help me out?

try using just $logged once instead of $_SESSION['logged']

and what version of php are you using, is register_globals on, off, etc.....

compare these things to old server settings

you could also copy your old server's php.ini over to your new server and see what happens there too

Thanks stolz, sorry for the double post.. forgot to delete the other one.

I tried what you said, but only got an unidentified variable instead of index. Also tried using your basic template and got the same error. PHP screws up when it can't identify the variable 'logged'. If you have any other ideas let me know, thanks for your help.

(Edit: Hmm... I think I figured it out, just added quotes around 'logged' to make it an index..?)

stolzyboy

have you consulted your php.ini to ensure that php is configured correctly

the reason i ask is cuz this was tested on many systems, since it was the be the main structure for a session chapter for a wrox book

// before they died of course
// but they've been reborn btw

Yeah, I mean I've gone through the ini and I think I changed everything I had before to the same values... All I did was change the script so it accesses the session variable/index (whatever it is) logged using ('logged') instead of (logged). Everything works fine on my end now, so I'm happy. There probably is something wrong with my settings though, since the script has worked for you and everyone else, as well as on my old server.

Thanks for your help though, its greatly appreciated. This stuff can be intimidating when one is just beginning.
