Problems with session_start()

**anilson1** · 01-03-2009 11:37 PM

Hi,
any help with session_start()
I have the message:
----------------------------

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/anilson1/public_html/UpdateData/EmailCheckerPage_Passchanger.php:4) in /home/anilson1/public_html/UpdateData/EmailCheckerPage_Passchanger.php on line 51

--------------------------------
here is my script:

----------------------

PHP Code:


 <?php
$getmail      = $_POST['getemail'];

// Connect to server and select databse.
mysql_connect("localhost", "xxxxxx", "xxxxxxxxxx")or die("cannot connect"); 
mysql_select_db("anilson1_olgDB")or die("cannot select DB");
 
$result=mysql_query("SELECT Email, PersonalID, MemberID FROM Personalized WHERE Email='$getmail'");
if(mysql_num_rows($result)==1)
{
$line=mysql_fetch_array($result,MYSQL_BOTH);
$user   = $line['MemberID'];
$userid = $line['PersonalID'];
session_start();
$_SESSION['userID'] = $line['PersonalID'];
mysql_query("DELETE FROM Financial WHERE PersonalID='$userid'");

echo "<tr><td></td><td>".$getmail."</td></tr>";
echo "<tr><td>Enter your username:</td><td><input type=\"text\" name=\"getusername\"></td></tr>";
echo "<tr><td>Enter a new password:</td><td><input type=\"password\" name=\"newpasschanger\"></td></tr>";
echo "<tr><td>Re-enter the new password:</td><td><input type=\"password\" name=\"renewedpasschanger\"></td></tr>";
echo "<tr><td></td><td><input type=\"button\" class=\"buttonchenger\" value=\"submit\" onclick=\"inputchecker()\"/></td></tr>";
$extrainfo = "<b><i>Note: </i></b>Due to safety reasons you will have to update your profile.";
}
else
{echo "<tr><td>Sorry but this email seems not to exist in our database. </td></tr><tr><td>Please go back to the main page and register again.</td></tr>";
echo "</td></tr><tr><td><a href='http://cavuanzakikolo.x10hosting.com/'>Main page</a></td></tr>";
$extrainfo="";
}

mysql_close();
?>

what's wrong?

try placing session_start() on the first line of the script. if anything is displayed to the browser, then you've already sent headers, and cannot send anymore.

ob_start();
if(!($_SESSION["userID"]))
{header("location:http://cavuanzakikolo.x10hosting.com");}
$thisMember = $_SESSION["loggedUser"];
$thisuser   = $_SESSION ["userID"];
// Connect to server and select databse.
mysql_connect("localhost", "xxxxx", "xxxxxxx")or die("cannot connect"); 
mysql_select_db("anilson1_olgDB")or die("cannot select DB");
$result=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Personalized WHERE MemberID='$thisMember'");
$uservalues = mysql_fetch_array($result,MYSQL_BOTH);

-------------------end of update page
Edit:
I solved the problem.
On profile page I had a button to update profile and I had link to update password.
When I tried to change the password I couldn't get values posted by profile page because the form was not submitted.
