Hi

I am designing a website with Dreamwearver MX and my database is mysql. Here is the situation dreamweaver sees the database through mysql connection. When I connect the login page script to the database I recieve the following error message when I preview in the browser. See below. Dreamwearver has an extension for PHP called log user in this script connects the login page to mysql database and check to make sure the username and password or in the database. If login is successful then the scrip will send the user to my index.htm page if the login is unsuccessful the script will send to login failure page I have created. Can anyone help figure this out. I have never run into this problems before it is somewhat fustrating.

Tanya,

Most of this is probably getting mad at you from the part that says headers already sent. So I'll explain what that is.

PHP has a built in function for sending out HTML headers automatically when it encounters the first "echo" or "print" statement in a file. However if you echo out say the header of the document first, then try to mess with those headers (modifying cookie, redirecting the user, etc.) you will get the "headers already sent" error. You need to make sure that ALL of your sesson code, cookie code and other related code comes BEFORE any actual template or page display stuff. That should help you out some. Hope it helps.

Hi Tanya,

Well the trouble here is because your call to session_start() encountered an error, session data not found. When you encoutered the first error, the preceeding errors of headers already sent are encountered because of PHP's output of the first error. SO really the last three errors are irrelevant.

The script is complaining that the session data doesn't exist... and the file path looks a bit screwy.. forward slash / tmp \ backslash session file. Check the session.save_path directive in php.ini and tht PHP has read/write access to the directory. The default configuration should give PHP write access to the tmp directory.

Have you set up custom session handlers? I do hate WYSIWYG editors.. using them sometimes leaves you in the dark as to what's going on under the hood.

So you either need to create the tmp directory with read/write access. Or define the file path in php.ini. under the session.save_path directive. The default should be C:\PHP\sessiondata Or drive letter whereever PHP is installed. To find the php.ini file look in the C:\Windows directory on a Win32 system and open it with a notepad like editor.

If you do not see this directive in the file, then add it as follows:

session.save_path = C:\PHP\sessiondata

Notice this is not delimited by quotes. Again setting file permissions is just as important as the file path.

Hey all,

Just wanted to comment that quesadilla5 is right on the money. You HAVETO have session_path set properly in the php.ini file.

Thanks queso!

Also, assuming you're using Apache server, make sure that you store the php.ini in the correct location (e.g., C:\Apache\Apache2\bin), otherwise if you're just changing the php.ini in your C:\php folder you'll need to copy it to the location of your Apache2.exe which is in the bin subfolder.

I ever had the same problem, this is because the value of variables session_path, session_autostart and session_header are not changed. Change the value of session_path to be the directory that saves the cookies, session_autostart to be "1" and session_header to be "on". It will fix your problems...

Hey guys, I have a really weird situation, I have read all of the other posts and it seems to be that they only help with local php hosting on your computer, but on my Hosting Provider, these warnings come up :

On the line that it is reffering to on "session.php" (39) this is what is wrote :


any help would be greatly appreciated!

Just like CMILLER said, "You need to make sure that ALL of your sesson code, cookie code and other related code comes BEFORE any actual template or page display stuff."
