Tutorial Mistake

There is a mistake in the tutorial located at: http://codewalkers.com/tutorials.php?show=9&page=7

It's missing a bracket here
"firstname varchar25),"

I noticed it and fixed it so I continue with the tut but if it's fixed it should help fellow newbies.

Fixed now...thanks!

In tutotial: "Using Sessions in PHP", the code for login.php (on the 3rd page of the tutorial) needs session_start() added.

I hope I'm not missing something...I spent a few hours figuring this one out hehe

Added that. Thanks!

I'm having a problem getting this tutorial to work correctly.

First, there needs to be a semi-colon after line 9; Header ("Location: ./index.php") of login.php

The other error i get is:
Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /Library/WebServer/Documents/functions.php:47 //which is the end of the file, btw) in /Library/WebServer/Documents/entry.php on line 9

If I do an include(); or meta-refresh to different file, it works no problem. It only errors when using the original Header() code. I can get around it, but being a new user to php sessions and the Header function, I'd like to know why it doesn't work. Or if this is a mistake on the author's part. The code does everything else it's supposed to do except this.

Thanks for any help. If you'd like me to post this somewhere else, let me know.

make sure that there are no extra carriage returns or spaces at the end of the include file. The error you are getting indicates that output has already been sent to the browser prior to the header call. Probably just an extra carriage return at the end of the file.

also, you never mention which tutorial it is!!!

Blindeddie--Thanks, man! That seemed to work. I went through all the files and made sure there weren't any extra carriage returns, lines, spaces or gremlins after ' ?>'

That's the first time I've run into that problem. I'll have to add that to my check list when solving php problems.

Also, the tutorial I'm referring to is "Using Sessions in PHP" which is linked in the first post, mentioned in the third post and above all, what this thread is all about.

Thanks again.

when I click on that link I go to the tutorial entitled

Create dynamic sites with PHP & MySQL

not the tutorial entitled

Using Sessions in PHP

The thread is entitled 'Tutorial Mistake' not 'Problem with Using Sessions in PHP Tutorial mistake', so I hope you understand my confusion...

Yes, that would be confusing. I thought all posts in this thread were for the "Using Sessions" tutorial.

I did a search for that tutorial and this is what it returned.

Oh well. Have a good evening!

the first
at the top of the code snippet on
http://codewalkers.com/tutorials/46/19.html
should not be there.
same with the last .

thanks for the great tutorial.

still a problem

Fixed...thanks!
