[RESOLVED] Nasty header situation

TimmacJa_k

Hi Another quick one...
This header is nasty it gives all these errors. I know its not quite right just confused as to how to do it otherwise...Note it still works but not exactly as it should.

 session_start();
 if(!session_is_registered(myusername)){
 header("location:login.php");
 }
header("Expires: Thu, 17 May 2001 10:17:17 GMT");
header("Last-Modified:" . gmdate("D,d M Y H:i:s") . "GMT");
header ("Cache-control: no-cache, must-revalidate");
header("Pragma: no-cache");

mysql_connect("localhost","","");
mysql_select_db("nottelling"); 


if(isset($select)&&$select!=""){
$select=$_GET['select'];
}

these are some of the errors that appear on the webpage:

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /currentpage1.php:2) in /currentpaege1.php on line 3

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /currnetpage1.php:2) in /currentpage1.php on line 5

I know this is due to the 'get' function displaying information back to the same page, and this is colliding with the $_session information.

Any thoughts?

Typically, we would use an exit() or a die() after sending a location header. Try that:

if(!session_is_registered(myusername)){
    header("location:login.php");
    exit();
}

Please remember to indent your code properly.

Also, a location header takes an absolute URI, so read the PHP manual on [man]header/man for a possible solution.

I appreciate your comment, but I'm sorry I can't except your help as your spiritual beliefs clash with mine bigtime.

Even if its just a name, words a powerful.

I will be praying for ya sis,
Love ya,
Tim

Erm... in what way do my spiritual beliefs clash with yours? If you are referring to my avatar's "PHP Witch" title and reference to the "PHP Spellbook", then perhaps you need to lighten up and take roleplaying more casually 😉

TimmacJa_k

Sorry sis, that's dangerous territory. It's not even worth delving in such an area; even for fun's sake. Stick to the Light that will lighten you up for sure 😛

I do not want to turn a thread requesting for help into one on religion, spirituality, roleplaying and hacker jargon, but since you insist:

Basically, I was inspired by Eric Raymond's Jargon File entry on wizard:

1. Transitively, a person who knows how a complex piece of software or hardware works (that is, who groks it); esp. someone who can find and fix bugs quickly in an emergency. Someone is a hacker if he or she has general hacking ability, but is a wizard with respect to something only if he or she has specific detailed knowledge of that thing. A good hacker could become a wizard for something given the time to study it.

The term 'wizard' is also used intransitively of someone who has extremely high-level hacking or problem-solving ability.

At that point, many years ago, I certainly did not 'grok' (deeply understand) PHP. Calling myself a 'hacker' might lead to misunderstanding on a programming related forum as the popular media uses that term to mean 'cracker', and besides, I probably did not deserve that title either. Consequently, I coined the title 'witch' out of respect for the real wizards of the art of programming, and roleplayed with a girl as my avatar (I am a guy).

I have no idea what is your religion, but I am a Christian (a Roman Catholic, to be precise), and I certainly object to implied claims that I am a Wiccan or an occultist, or that the 'witch' user title means any more than roleplaying. Nonetheless, if someone who holds very different religious views from me were to give me good programming advice, I would take it: this is religious tolerance and common sense in action. After all, are you so sure that the hardware and software you use have not been developed by people with views that differ from your own?

I appreciate your comments, I'm sure thousands of other people do to; note your large post count....!!

Thanks for clearing things up!

I too am a follower of Christ. Tho I think we can both see how misleading words can be sometimes.

BTW all it was, was some gaps in the code, that was making it chuck a wobbley.

Tim
