Answer 1

You're trying to set the headers after sending them. Comment out the echo "your name"." ".$_SESSION['user']; line and everything will work.

Explanation: The headers are always the first thing sent (that's why they're called headers). When you call echo, part of the page is sent, but if the headers aren't set, they will be sent first. What's happening in your code is that the echo line is sending the headers, and then you're trying to set them after the headers have already been sent (which doesn't work).

Answer 2

You can't echo and print_r or give any other output before function header.

Answer 3

Headers should be sent before any output, so any statement with an echo or a print_r before a header will cause errors.

Answer 4

try

echo "<script>window.location=\"http://www.niktrixhosting.com/login/user/index.php\"&lt;/script&gt;";

instead of:

header("Location: http://www.niktrixhosting.com/login/user/index.php");

Answer 5

you are not to echo/print out/output anything before using header(). that will really affect your PHP page.
