Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at C:\xampp\htdocs\IPMS\process\ProcessDAO.php:1) in C:\xampp\htdocs\IPMS\process\login.php on line 5

May I ask why you have 2 session_start() function?

The reason why you got that error because you have 2 session_start() function! There should be only 1 session_start() function per page.

Try to put your session_start() function on top of your code instead of being in the middle.

From this:

<?php
include 'ProcessDAO.php';
$dest="";
if(isset($_POST['login'])){
session_start(); // i get an error in this line !!
$_SESSION['status']='online';
$_SESSION['breadcrumb']='home';
$pro = new ProcessDAO();
$dest = $pro->LogIn($_POST['username'],$_POST['password']);
}else{
session_start();
$dest ="Location: ../index.php";
session_destroy();
}
header($dest);
?>

To this:

<?php
session_start();
include ("ProcessDAO.php");
$dest="";
if(isset($_POST['login'])){
$_SESSION['status']='online';
$_SESSION['breadcrumb']='home';
$pro = new ProcessDAO();
$dest = $pro->LogIn($_POST['username'],$_POST['password']);
}else{
$dest = 'location: ../index.php';
session_destroy();
}
header($dest);
?>

Did you write this code?

The reason why you got that error because you have 2 header which you should have only 1 header.

Take out line 14:

header($dest);

For anyone who comes across this thread in the future, when you get the error that headers were already sent, it’s because once you echo anything out to the browser (HTML, text, etc) you can no longer send any additional http headers, which includes server-side redirects.
