Login Page!!!

obrienkev

Hi all,
Ok I have created a login page using PHP but when I test it in the browser I get the following:

Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\newsite\url_fns.php:265) in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\newsite\member.php on line 5

Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\newsite\url_fns.php:265) in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\newsite\member.php on line 5

I imagine this has something to do with session_start().
Please, please, please could you kindly help me to remedy the problem.
I am working on Windows 2000 if that makes any difference.

Thank you.

I don't know if this has anything to do with it or not, but sessions and cookies tend to do the same thing with a few differences. Try just sending the cookie. Also i've run into this error when trying to redirect someone to another page. Some where in that file you may have another header already being sent.

ANY OUTPUT to the browser is a bad idea before running the session_start(); function. You'll only run into loads of errors

This includes blank spaces or any html etc. Look at your url_fns.php page for anything being sent to the browser (echo, headers etc)

Another idea is if the url_fns.php page is to be included on all pages why not take the session_start() out of the page your using and place it at the top of the url_fns.php page?.
