My name is Thibaud, I'm beginner on PHP. I'm trying to set up a login logic to my "app" and encountering this error :
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function header() in C:\xampp\htdocs\assignment11_autosession\login.php:15 Stack trace: #0 {main} thrown in C:\xampp\htdocs\assignment11_autosession\login.php on line 15
Here is my code :
session_start();
// If there is no parameter, error message is generated
if ( isset($_POST["who"]) && isset($_POST["pass"])) {
$pass = $_POST["pass"];
$salt = 'hello';
$stored_hash = 'hello';
$md5 = hash('md5', $salt.$pass);
unset($_SESSION["who"]); // Logout current user
if (filter_var($_POST["who"], FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL) && $md5 == $stored_hash) {
$_SESSION["who"] = $_POST["who"];
$_SESSION["success"] = "Logged in.";
?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�**?�header('Location: view.php');**
return;
}
elseif (!filter_var($_POST["who"], FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
$_SESSION["error"] = "Email must have an at-sign (@)";
header('Location: login.php');
return;}
elseif ( strlen($_POST["who"]) < 1 || strlen($_POST["pass"]) < 1 ) {
$_SESSION["error"] = "User name and password are required";
header('Location: login.php');
return;}
else{ $_SESSION["error"] = "Incorrect password.";
header( 'Location: login.php' );
return;}
}
?>

I tried to find out more about this error message on google. I understood it could be :
But I did not find signs of this in my code yet...
When I test to put a bad "who" or a bad "pass", browser redirection to the same page works well (http response 302 in the network console and refresh of the page). It's only in the case of a correct "who" and correct "pass" that the redirection to this other "view.php" page does not occur and I get this error message.
I tried to modify the syntax of this header() before and after, I tried to copy from another piece of code where it was working, but error remains there.
I hope this question is in the correct format and thanks a lot in advance for your help on this one :) Best Regards, Thibaud.
After a further look at the code, I reworked it. This version of this code works well. I am not sure of the exact reason it's working but still, I let it here so that if a similar issue is coming for someone, he/she'll be able to retrieve a correct logic :
<?php
session_start();
// If there is no parameter, error message is generated
if ( isset($_POST["who"]) && isset($_POST["pass"])) {
$pass = $_POST["pass"];
$salt = 'XyZzy12*_';
$stored_hash = '1a52e17fa899cf40fb04cfc42e6352f1';
$md5 = hash('md5', $salt.$pass);
unset($_SESSION["who"]); // Logout current user
if (filter_var($_POST["who"], FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL) && $md5 == $stored_hash) {
$_SESSION["who"] = $_POST["who"];
$_SESSION["success"] = "Logged in.";
header('Location: view.php');
return;}
elseif (!filter_var($_POST["who"], FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
$_SESSION["error"] = "Email must have an at-sign (@)";
header('Location: login.php');
return;}
elseif ( strlen($_POST["who"]) < 1 || strlen($_POST["pass"]) < 1 ) {
$_SESSION["error"] = "User name and password are required";
header('Location: login.php');
return;}
else{ $_SESSION["error"] = "Incorrect password.";
header( 'Location: login.php' );
return;}
}
?>
