[madmax765]

Hi there ok i am new here and 90% noob on php

ok i was getting this error

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at C:\AA\www\minimanger\register.php:1) in C:\AA\www\minimanger\header.php on line 7

So i did some searching found this http://www.phpbuilder.com/board/showthread.php?t=10310794 did what post #6 I just left it blank

error went away.. but when I register, Register work.. it add the info to into the DB OK, But the trouble is after you fill out your user name and password to register. you hit register. Then page just goes to a white screen

In the address bar go's from minimanger/register.php to minimanger/register.php?action=doregister (where it just sites there in a white screen

You need to set error_reporting to E_ALL and turn on display_errors (dev environment) and log_errors (dev and production).

If you don't know how to do it, google for "list of php ini directives" and locate the correct php.ini file on your system. Do note that there may be multiple such files, but only one is used. You can use a script with nothing but

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

to get information on which php.ini is used.

ok i changed
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE
to
error_reporting = E_ALL

was allready set to on
display_errors =On

session.cache_limiter =
no error but just whire screnn

session.cache_limiter = public
error on white screen

not sure if this part in the header.. what makes the page go back to main menu

$time_start = microtime(true);
// resuming login session if available, or start new one
if (ini_get('session.auto_start'));
else session_start();

[Derokorian]

You showed us the header, where the session_start() call is that can't be completed, however you have not showed the file that it says started the output (causing the session_start() to fail) "output started at C:\AA\www\minimanger\register.php:1" register.php is the file with output that's causing session_start() failure. Remember nothing but headers can be sent before session_start() not even white space!

[madmax765]

ok this would be the first page
/minimanger/

<?php

// page header, and any additional required libraries
require_once 'header.php';
require_once 'libs/bbcode_lib.php';
require_once 'libs/char_lib.php';
require_once 'libs/map_zone_lib.php';
// minimum permission to view page
valid_login($action_permission['read']);

//#############################################################################
// MINIMANAGER INDEX PAGE
//#############################################################################
function index(&$sqlr, &$sqlc, &$sqlm)
{

i click on regester button then it jumps to next page

minimanger/register.php
from there i see the error on top of the page
Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at C:\AA\www\minimanger\register.php:1) in C:\AA\www\minimanger\header.php on line 7

this is top part of the reister page

<?php

require_once("header.php");


//#####################################################################################################
// REGISTER PRINT FORM
//#####################################################################################################
function register()
{
	global	$lang_register, $lang_global, $output, $lang_command,
			$expansion_select, $lang_captcha, $enable_captcha, $invited_by;

if (empty($_GET['ref']))
	$referred_by = '';
else
	$referred_by = $_GET['ref'];

and this is top part of the header.php page

<?php


$time_start = microtime(true);
// resuming login session if available, or start new one
if (ini_get('session.auto_start'));
else session_start();

//---------------------Load Default and User Configuration---------------------
if (file_exists('./config/config.php'))
{
	if (file_exists('./config/config.dist.php'))
		require_once './config/config.dist.php';

[madmax765]

Vertrigo
Apache 2.0.64
php 5.2.17

Xampp
Apache 2.2.17
php5.3.

[Weedpacket]

Is the '<' the first character in that line? (Should have asked to begin with, but forgot to do so.)

Incidentally:

if (ini_get('session.auto_start'));
else session_start();

The whole point of [man]session.auto_start[/man] is that it starts the session automatically (hence the name). You probably intended [font=monospace]if (!ini_get('session.auto_start'));[/font]

In fact, now that I look at it, there's a syntax error caused by the semicolon on the end of that line (the "else" would be unexpected). So the script wouldn't even be running, let alone trying to start a session or send headers.

[myboy]

You need to set error_reporting to E_ALL and turn on display_errors (dev environment) and log_errors (dev and production).

[johanafm]

If otuput starts at the very top of a file while you see nothing but <?php when looking at it, your editor most likely saves the file as utf-8 with BOM, which it shouldn't. Save it without BOM instead.

[madmax765]

ok i like to thank you all, I or I should say WE got it going 😃 (you guys here) it was "utf-8 with BOM" I did do as post 12 from link http://www.phpbuilder.com/board/showthread.php?t=10310794 but i should re-saved the index.php and register.php I only did the header.php page Once again many thanks to you all, You all where so nice here and fast in replying in help. now i move from 90&#37; noob to 89% noob 😃 soon more bugs to come
