Hi,

You don't seem to use session_start at the beginning of your script... so session_register works like session_start. And session_start has to be put at the very beginning of your whole script. It modifies the header - as the error message told you - and you can't modify headers if they are already sent to the browser.

So it's recommandable to use session_start at the beginning of your script, then you can use session_register later without problems.

http://php.net/session_register
If session_start() was not called before this function is called, an implicit call to session_start() with no parameters will be made.

http://php.net/session_start
Note: If you are using cookie-based sessions, you must call session_start() before anything is outputted to the browser.

Further, you have to register your variables with their name, and not with their content. So, use this Line to register $username:

PHP Code:


session_register("username");

Saludo

I guess I should also point out that session_register is no longer in use. You'll need to use

PHP Code:


session_start();

$_SESSION['username'] = $username;

Oh... I know that it's recommended to use the other way. But what do you mean by "not longer in use"? They'll remove the function in PHP5?

It just makes it more compatible. session_register (register_globals) have been turned off by default since 4.2.0, which means that session_register won't work, but the superglobals, such as $_SESSION will work with register_globals turned on or off

PHP Code:


<?php

session_start();

$_SESSION['sessionusername'] = $username;

@DsgnrsTLZAdmin: Yes, you can.

Thx. Yes, that's what I know, too.
