Im trying to make a login and admin panel for my site, and I get the following error on the login page;

Warning:  session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /home/genosco/public_html/index.php:14) in /home/genosco/public_html/admin/index.php on line 2

Warning:  session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/genosco/public_html/index.php:14) in /home/genosco/public_html/admin/index.php on line 2

And thus I cant even login, this the code I have for that page.

Code: Select all

<?php
session_start();
include("database.php");
include("login.php");
?>

<?php
if($logged_in){
   include('admin_body.php');
}else{
   displayLogin();
}
?>

Do you have anything (even a space or blank line) before the <?php, or have you posted your complete code here?

First of all make sure that there is no space before the opening <?php

If there isn't do this "<?php session_start();" So that they are on the same line.

just make sure you put the session start code above the starting <html> tag in your code
