PHP Sessions

[Alex Francis]

It is a long time since I did any PHP coding but was asked to create a site
recently using PHP. Naturally I used some code which I know is working on
another site but I cannot get it to work on my test server which is running
PHP5. I think the other site is running PHP4. I would be grateful if someone
can help.

Here is the error message
Warning: session_register() [function.session-register]: Cannot send session
cookie - headers already sent by (output started at
C:\wamp\www\html\confirm_login.php:50) in C:\wamp\www\reqfiles\login.req.php

The session code needs to be placed at the start of the page, above all
else.

You also appear to be missing a session start. That goes first before any
other PHP code at the start of the page.

Chuck, Thanks for the quick reply.
I have a session start as the first line of my page, but I don't see how I
can put the session register lines at the beginning before I have checked
that the user name and password are correct. I am about to change the code
to the one at http://www.phpeasystep.com/phptu/6.html but it isn't much
different from mine.

Sorry about that I had mispelled session in the session start. Nearly
working now.

Alex,

I do a login form that has the same page to gather the login/password.

<form method="post" action="<? echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>">

Code at the start of the page checks to see if those variables are set and
validate against a database.

If they do, session variables are set and the user is logged in. If not, the
login form is displayed. Or if they've tried to login and failed, an error
message is displayed.

Chuck,
That gets a bit complicated for me, even when I was doing more PHP I always
found the ['PHP_SELF'] a bit too much and found that I was better creating a
new page for submitting everything. I know it is less efficient but I found
it easier to follow.

Still Having problems with my sessions:
Here is my code for my login page and for my main authorised page:
session_start(); is not shown since it is on the first line of the page not
with the rest of the code:
I don't seem to be getting the sessions created. I put in line 2 in my
authorised page to help debug and got this error message:
Notice: Undefined variable: _SESSION in
C:\wamp\www\reqfiles\allauthsession.req.php on line 2

Login Page
<?php

//create short names from form information
$userlogname = $_POST["userlogname"];
$userlogpass = $_POST["userlogpass"];

$encryptedpassword = md5($userlogpass);

//capture ip address
$ipaddress = getenv ("REMOTE_ADDR");
$date = date("D d M,Y");
$time = date("h:i:s a");

$sql = " SELECT * FROM logintable WHERE userlogname='$userlogname' AND
userpasswd='$encryptedpassword'";

//$retid = mysql_db_query($dbname, $sql, $link);
$opendb = mysql_select_db($dbname, $link) or die("Cannot select the
database.<br>" . mysql_error());
$retid = mysql_query($sql, $link);
if (!$retid) { echo( mysql_error()); }
else {

$logname = $row["fullname"];
}
$num = mysql_num_rows($retid);
// echo ("$num");

if ($num==0){

Probably doing something stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Alex Francis]

I had to place an ob start at th beginning. I have also used session start
in case the production server is different from my test server.
Thanks for your help, it is all coming back to me. (it must be an age thing
it has got worse since I retired).
