Oasis · 03-11-2005

I completed the tutorial for the PHP - MySQL membership script and seem to have run into a snag. Im sure it's something simple but I can't put my finger on it...

http://www.witchyworld.com/user/register.php

I edited the urls as instructed .. registered, and received the activation emails just fine. When I click on the login in here link Im getting an error ...

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/wworld/public_html/user/config.php:1) in /home/wworld/public_html/user/login.php on line 27

scrowler... where are ya? He's the man when it comes to this sort of question.

Your problem,i met it somewhere,you could see it when you use Cookies or Session rite?Because the header() must ouput first,Is there any header output in your codes that you ouput it before sth(like cookie),so recheck both config.php and login.php.
Anywait,your codes here will make everything clearer than just guess..

ParaSnake is right, any header(); call must come before anything is sent to the browser. From what I can see, there is an unwanted space before your first <?php tag in config.php. Remove it

yeah, there can't be any html, or output from PHP before a header() function, check your code, you probably just added some html in the wrong place (i.e. add html after php instead of before, or in the PHP)

Or use output buffering if you HAVE to have code before changing headers. Thats not the usual recommenede way tho, cause there are other more effective ways of redirecting etc.

I had the same problem, and I tried the *.zip of files which can be downloaded, and that also has the same error!"

Also the search engine needs some work on here, I didnt find this till I posted a thread on the same subject (block simliar threads appeared)

was just a space after the ?> in the config.php file :-/
