[Resolved] Sessions-headers already sent

[Arc]

Hi there. I am using this code to register a session if the password is correct.

  <?php 
		  If($Submit){
		  If(strtoupper($txtUserName) != strtoupper("asd") && strtoupper($txtPassword) != strtoupper("asd")){
		  $Msg="Incorrect Username/Password Combonation";
		  header("Location: login.php?Msg=$Msg");
		  }else{
		  session_start();
		  session_register("Session");
  header("Location: index.php");
           }
		 }
?>

This is the only code on this page... there is no HTML at all, but when this page runs i get 5-6 error messages saying

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /home/httpd/html/allsites/asd.com/contestants/login2.php:1) in /home/httpd/html/allsites/asd.com/contestants/login2.php on line 7

What can i do to rememdy this situation? Thanks alot!😃

Well the problem is on line 1 where your opening php tag is. I've heard people have problems w/this for putting spaces before the PHP tags. Try removing the spaces before the php tags and after.

there are no spaces before the php tag... in the file the php tag is on line 1.

Actually i just tried it again and even though it was on line 1 there was still 2 bar spaces before the tag... took those out and it worked fine...Thanks ALOT!😃

lol. The little things are the hardest to catch! Glad you found it. And since your problem was solved, can you please click the "Mark Thread Resolved" link (check out my sig).

Thanks,

Well i actually edited the title of my first post as Resolved... that usualy shows up in the list threads page on most message boards... i guess it doesnt here.

Another way of fixing this problem is to add

<? ob_start ("ob_gzhandler"); ?>

to the start of your program

and

<? ob_end_flush(); ?>

just before your header tag, this effectively does the same thing, but allows you to keep nice tidy code.
