2nd: When i Register a user - system message "Username already exist" not "Registration succesfull"..

this is the code of register.php

<?php 
require 'core/init.php';
$general->logged_in_protect();

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {

    if(empty($_POST['username']) || empty($_POST['password']) || empty($_POST['email'])){

        $errors[] = 'All fields are required.';

    }else{

        if ($users->user_exists($_POST['username']) === true) {
            $errors[] = 'That username already exists'; // ALWAYS TYPED THIS
        }
        if(!ctype_alnum($_POST['username'])){
            $errors[] = 'Please enter a username with only alphabets and numbers';  
        }
        if (strlen($_POST['password']) <6){
            $errors[] = 'Your password must be atleast 6 characters';
        } else if (strlen($_POST['password']) >18){
            $errors[] = 'Your password cannot be more than 18 characters long';
        }
        if (filter_var($_POST['email'], FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL) === false) {

        }else if ($users->email_exists($_POST['email']) === true) {
            $errors[] = 'That email already exists.';
        }
    }

    if(empty($errors) === true){

        $username   = htmlentities($_POST['username']);
        $password   = $_POST['password'];
        $email      = htmlentities($_POST['email']);

        $users->register($username, $password, $email);
        header('Location: reg.php?success');
        exit();
    }
}

?>

        <?php
        if (isset($_GET['success']) && empty($_GET['success'])) {
          echo 'Thank you for registering. Please check your email.';
        }
        ?>

Can you show the code of method user_exists()?

[Elusive]

    public function user_exists($username) {

        $query = $this->db->prepare("SELECT COUNT(`id`) FROM `users` WHERE `username`= ?");
        $query->bindValue(1, $username);

        try{

            $query->execute();
            $rows = $query->fetchColumn();

            if($rows == 1){
                return true;
            }else{
                return false;
            }

        } catch (PDOException $e){
            die($e->getMessage());
        }

    }

Read the manual.

Remember that header() must be called before any actual output is sent, either by normal HTML tags, blank lines in a file, or from PHP. It is a very common error to read code with include, or require, functions, or another file access function, and have spaces or empty lines that are output before header() is called. The same problem exists when using a single PHP/HTML file.
