Hi all , i have problem regarding sending the headers in the script. I am getting problem while i send header , it says that the header is already send at so and so line no.
Actually the same code is running nicely on my laptop but if i run on different PC, it gives that error. so i am confused wat to do. I m posting the code of one page but , but in the forum if i post a reply or if i add new topic same the headers are send so i am giving just one code and , due to that problem it is not possible for me do the sessions as well so plz help me wat to do.
| Code: |
$link=mysqli_connect($host,$username,$password,$database);
if(!$link)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysqli_error());
}
else
{
$post_id = $_REQUEST['post_id'];
if (!isset($post_id))
{
header("Location : topiclist.php");
exit;
}
//still have to verify topic and post
$verify_sql="select ft.topic_id,ft.topic_title from forum_posts
AS fp LEFT JOIN forum_topics AS ft on
fp.topic_id=ft.topic_id where fp.post_id='".$post_id."'";
$verify_res =mysqli_query($link,$verify_sql) or die(mysqli_error($link));
if (mysqli_num_rows($verify_res)<1)
{
// this post or topic does nt exit
header("location : topiclist.php");
exit;
}
else
{
// get the topic id and title
while($topic_info=mysqli_fetch_array($verify_res))
{
$topic_id = $topic_info['topic_id'];
$topic_title=stripslashes($topic_info['topic_title']);
}
//echo "
?>
Post Your Reply in <strong><?php echo $topic_title ?></strong><br />
<br />
</div>
<form method="post" action="postreply.php" style="text-align:center" >
<table width="609" border="0" align="center">

There is a "bit" dirty trick to prevent that.
Put at the very to in your php file after <?php
Than PHP caches all output into a buffer and sends the content after running the full script. So apache won't send a header before your header. |

hi james thanks for the reply, as per ur suggestion i inserted the code ob_start(), still the error is same, as after login i am trying to get the username and pass in session due to this problem i am not able to store the session variables, for the sessions it gives following error
| Code: |
Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at C:\xampp\htdocs\designmagicworks\forumindex.php:8) in C:\xampp\htdocs\designmagicworks\forumindex.php on line 10
Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at C:\xampp\htdocs\designmagicworks\forumindex.php:8) in C:\xampp\htdocs\designmagicworks\forumindex.php on line 10
|
and for the error of header error it gives following error
| Code: |
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at C:\xampp\htdocs\designmagicworks\do_addtopic.php:12) in C:\xampp\htdocs\designmagicworks\do_addtopic.php on line 69.
|
I am confused as i m nt getting any solution for this.
Does is this problem due to XAMP, as same code is running perfectly on my laptop so i am confused.
Thanks in advance |

Where in the code do you start the session? I can't see it the in examples you posted.
You have to put the session_start() directly under ob_start();
If you use includes make sure that you only start the session once. |

Hi james as per ur request i m sending the login script.
| Code: |
ob_start();
session_start();
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$host = "localhost";
$database = "abc";
$link=mysqli_connect($host,$username,$password,$database);
if(!$link)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysqli_error());
}
else
{
// Define $myusername and $mypassword
$myusername=$_POST['username'];
$mypassword=$_POST['password'];
//echo $mypassword;
// To protect MySQL injection (more detail about MySQL injection)
$myusername = stripslashes($myusername);
$mypassword = stripslashes($mypassword);
$myusername = mysqli_real_escape_string($link,$myusername);
$mypassword = mysqli_real_escape_string($link,$mypassword);
$sql="SELECT * FROM login WHERE username='$myusername' and password='$mypassword'";
echo $sql;
$result=mysqli_query($link,$sql);
$count= mysqli_num_rows($result);
// Mysql_num_row is counting table row
//$count=$r[0];
// If result matched $myusername and $mypassword, table row must be 1 row
if($count>=1)
{
// Register $myusername, $mypassword and redirect to file "login_success.php"
//session_register("myusername");
//session_register("mypassword");
while($row=mysqli_fetch_array($result))
{
$temp=$row['password'];
echo $temp;
}
$_SESSION["uname"]=$myusername;
$_SESSION["pass"]=$temp;
//echo "this is session value ".$_SESSION["uname"];
//echo"this is loginid from login table". $_SESSION["pass"];
if ($myusername=='abc' or $myusername=='def')
{
echo "abc logged in ";
header("location:forumindex.php");
}
else
{
//echo "login Successful";
//echo "<a href =\"forumindex.php\"> Continue </a>";
header("location:forumindex.php");
//echo "this is session memeber id " .$_SESSION["memberno"];
}
}
else
{
echo "<br><br>";
echo "<h4 >Either Userame or Password is incorrect <br> Please re-enter the password or username</h4>";
echo "<a href='forumlogin.php'>BACK </a>";
}

The code above works fine for me.
I see only two error!
You can't send a header after echo something or giving outout.
first
second
| Code: |
if ($myusername=='abc' or $myusername=='def')
{
echo "abc logged in ";
header("location:forumindex.php");
}
|
Also you should put a die(); after the header to make sure that there won't be any output after it. e.g. </body></html> |

Thanks for reply , i wil check that rt now and send u back, i wil remove that "echo $sql" statement and for the 2nd problem ,its working fine for me in my other web site, so there is no problem for me regarding that code. I wil use that die(); after every header statement.
I asked you regarding posting the code , i request you to plz let me know in which category should i post in the forum.
Thanks in advance |

Well I've tested the script with a dummy database and here with PHP 5.2.10 it works fine.
I've posted my php.ini so you can checkout what is different to yours.

hi james i really thankful for taking efforts for me , i checked ur php.ini and mine and i found out following two differences.
in ur php.ini the lines are like following
memory_limit = 256M
output_buffering = on
my php.ini is as below.
memory_limit = 128M
output_buffering = Off
does this output buffering is making any problem for me, but if its like that then my other web sites is using same so i am nt getting problem with header for other web sites those i am making. And most important thing is i am using Xamp not individual installation. So i dont know wats the problem. But i really appreciate ur efforts for me.
Thanks in advance. |

You can stay with your memory limit if your apps run with that. Turning on the output buffer often solve those problems and it tweaks a bit the performance.
What do you loose if you try? |
