cannot modify header information puzzler
- by outofmyleague_lucy
hi im out of my league
i have written what has now become identical code for two sites hosted on different servers. the first worked perfectly and i have therefore used it to compare the second to.from a login for i am directing to a loginaction.php when i include the db_connect.php ie
<?php session_start();
include 'db_connect.php';
$user=$_POST['formUser']
$password=$_POST['formPassword']etc ?
i am returning cannot modify header information header info already sent, but when i include the content of the db_connect ie
<?php session_start();
$connect = mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "pass");
mysql_select_db(db_name, $connection);
$user=$_POST['formUser']
$password=$_POST['formPassword']etc ?
it works.
any ideas?
