Can't log in to my admin area?? Help!

Hi, I was working on my site last night - dirtybikes.co.uk and following guidance on another thread where it suggested duplicating the contact_us pages to create a new page which could then be used to create a bespoke form. I duplicated all the pages with the contact_us name and renamed them. I the went to the EZ-Page and told it to create the page and provided an internal link to it.

This worked a treat but after I had closed my browser and reopened it I can no longer log in!!

It comes up with the following in the browser window:

http://www.dirtybikes.co.uk/%28nameofmyadmin%29/login.php

I have tried deleting all the pages I created and logged on via my server and removed the pages from EZ-Pages but the problem persists, any ideas what I have done?

It may be completely unconnected to the above of course but that was the last thing I was doing when it went pear shaped.

Kind regards

Paul:cry:

Sounds like broken cookies. Maybe clearing your browser's cache and cookies, and restarting the browser might be a good place to start.

Thanks for the response but unfortunately it seems not to be that simple. I realised that it might be helpful if I provided the source code, see below:

I have sorted this now as the fault lay in the class.smtp document within includes/classes. Still not sure what had happened as this file didn't seem to include anything that I might have changed but hey.

Thanks for confirming that the problem was fixed by replacing bad files on your server.

Re: Can't log in to my admin area?? Help!

In case anyone else experiences this issue, I discovered that the problem was caused by extra space being added after the last ?> within the class.smtp.php file which was added by my FTP program when I uploaded it
