Show if behavior Problem

Show if behavior Problem

I have a banner on my pages that is a file include for the nav (see code below). In the include file I added a connection to the users database and filtered by User_ID. Then added a show if Logged in to userdata behavior. Not logged in it didn't show, logged in it showed. It all worked great but then started throwing the message below on some of the pages, then got progressively worse and ended up on all pages.

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/hemgen1/public_html/spec_sheep.php:8) in /home/hemgen1/public_html/WA_SecurityAssist/Helper_PHP.php on line 5

Here are the first lines of my helper file from Security assist Helper_PHP.php file:

<?php require_once( "HelperGroupsRulesPHP.php" ); ?>
<?php require_once( "Mail_PHP.php" ); ?>
<?php
if (!isset($_SESSION)) {
session_start();
}

The session (!isset) should be true, right? So is it trying to start another session which is throwing the error?

Universal page code:
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="homelink"><a href="index.php"><img src="images/HemoGenixHomeLink.gif" width="338" height="94" /></a></div>
<div id="top_nav">
<?php include('links_topNav.php') ?><!--Show if behavior is in here-->
</div>
<div id="centernav_content">
<?php include('j_menu.php') ?>
</div>

How can I correct this?

No, I don't think that is your issue.

On your PHP pages make sure you have no whitespace or lines between PHP tags

eg

<?php } ?>

<?php ?>

Sometimes even a space after a PHP tag can cause that error.

Security Assist show if behavior

The problem seems to appear on pages that DO NOT have any security assist stuff applied to them. The downloads page, log in and register pages, that have page access applied to them to NOT exhibit the headers error from Helper_PHP.php line 5 error. Although the spaces around php commands is good advice I don't think that is what is causing the problem. Any more suggestions? Like I said it works fine with other access rules pages but not ones without page access.

see this post for details on troubleshooting the headers already sent error:
showthread.php?t=19285


The key to finding the cause of the problem is in this poertin of the error message:
output started at /home/hemgen1/public_html/spec_sheep.php:8


this points you to the output causing the error which is at line 8 of the spec_sheep.php page.

Track errors

I checked line 8 of my files (the opening structure is all the same) and it points to a style sheet. I moved all the style sheets down and it still errors at line 8, which then calls a javascript file. I'm really frustrated as the show region ONLY works on pages which I have applied security assist behaviors previously. Would adding a Not Logged in rule help? I also checked the link you included and everything IS set as specified in the post.

Persistence Pays

Show if behavior was sending headers already sent error...
My persistence paid off. 5 am programming lets the brain kick into auto pilot.

The pages that were working correctly required the user to be logged in ALREADY thru security assist. So the show if behavior worked fine. I put the call to the user database in the include file of the nav, big mistake. It was being called TOO LATE. I made an include file with JUST the connection to the database on all the other pages (over 80 in all) BEFORE the document declaration so it was called first, even if it wasn't in use, or going to be used yet, and voila. Everything works as it should. I am posting the solution in case anyone else has this problem.
