session_start()

momal_1

Hi,

I keep getting these errors and dont have a clue why.

I am very new to php so it could well be something small:

Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\members.php:2) in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\session.php on line 2

Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\members.php:2) in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\session.php on line 2

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\members.php:2) in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\session.php on line 4

Here is the php from member.php :

<html>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.style1 {
	font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 10px;
	color: #3366CC;
}
</style>

</html>
<?php
include ('common.php');
// Check if we have established an authenticated session
if (isset($_SESSION['login']))
{
    echo '<p align="center" class="style6 style13"><font color="#000000">ERROR</p><br>'.
	'<p align="center" class="style6 style13"><font color="#000000">YOU ARE ALREADY LOGGED IN</p>';

}
else
{
  // No session established, no POST variables
  //Display the login page 
?>

and here is the script from session:

<?php
session_start();
session_name('session');

function login_check(){
if($_SESSION['login'] != TRUE){
   include 'userlogin.htm';
   exit();
   }
}
?>

Can anyone help?

Please?

Just like set_cookie, session_start needs to be before ANY headers are sent to the browser. So it must be before any <html> tags or header()'s.

Example:

GOOD CODE:

<?php
session_start();
?>
<html>
<head>

BAD CODE:

<html>
<head>
<?php
session_start();
?>

I have took all of the HTML out, but the rrors are still there.

Any other suggestions?
