It may sound rather obvious, but don't send any header information :) The
error you are getting means that you have echoed or printed something to the
output, and have already started generating the HTML page. Don't do this.
Jump into the php code straight away (no introductory HTML code) and test
the conditions you want to test. Observe:
<?php
if (user_and_pass_ok)
{
set a cookie or session var to log them in;
header("Location: home.html");
}
else
{
either print an error message OR;
header("Location: login.html");
but not both. Print an error or redirect.
}
?>
