Warning errors when creating a new user account

[douglerner]

Could the following errors be due to the fact that I deleted a test user and then attempted to recreate the same username right away in the same browser?

Warning: session_regenerate_id() [function.session-regenerate-id]: Cannot regenerate session id - headers already sent in /home/doug/public_html/taonoyume/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 162

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/doug/public_html/taonoyume/includes/languages/english/custom/create_account.php:105) in /home/doug/public_html/taonoyume/includes/functions/functions_general.php on line 44

FWIW, the user did get created and the welcome email did get sent out.

Your error appears to be on line 105 of the file mentioned in the error message. As such, it will likely happen again next time you create another account:

Hmmm.... I might be stuck here. I looked that the file and there are only 103 lines. I looked at the tutorial page and there are no extra spaces or lines at the beginning or the end of the file...

It is, as you predicted, causing an error with each user registration...

Please copy and paste the entire contents of that file here for review. You likely have a syntax error with mismatched quotation marks or semicolons or brackets which is causing the code to discover the error on the first line of the next part of the Zen Cart core code that is processed after that language file.

Thanks for looking at this. My first foray into actual PHP. I'm guessing that the "." operator is string concatenation in PHP? Like the "+" in JavaScript? And strings can be enclosed by single or double-quotes, right?

The user does get registered and the welcome email, with the custom definitions are sent out...

Anyway, here is the file:

Your FTP program is somehow causing your files to become double-spaced.

Thus, the 104 lines in that file plus the extra carriage-return added by your FTP program, makes line 105.

The fastest way to apply a bandage to that is to just remove the ?> from the end of the file.

The proper way to fix it is to ensure that your FTP program is treating *.php files as ASCII files and not as binary files. Even then sometimes a webserver (esp a windows server) will cause the files to be treated with incorrect line-endings resulting in double-spacing. You might want to look into that too.

that is correct.

That must be why sporadically it is working and not working. Right now I was able to create an account without an erro.

The server is actually a Linux server.

Thanks again.

Um .... how did you install your site ?

Did you download files from zen-cart.com, or did you use some sort of automated installation provided by your host?

You really are better of using a set of files downloaded from the original distribution set on our website. That way you don't get the double-spacing problems as much. Plus then you have a master copy of all your files, including changes. A complete set is handy as a basic backup.
