    Hi,

    I am moving my site from dreamhost to bluehost. The php code working fine on DH is not working as expected on BH. I am attaching the code below for review. Kindly have a look at the code and reply me the problem with the code and correction.

    
<?php
	
	if (isset($_POST['submit']) && !empty($_POST['admin']) && !empty($_POST['password'])){
		if ((trim($_POST['admin'])=='myusername') && (sha1(trim($_POST['password']))=='1xyz9084a710c02e5bcfkp5a3feds039e059trsd')) { 
			echo 'correct login'; setcookie("admin", "myusername", time()+3600); header("location: admin.php");}
		} 
	if ($_COOKIE['admin']=='myusername') header("location: admin.php");
		?>
		<html>
		<form method = "POST" action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>">
		<label>Username: </label>
		<input type="text" name="admin" />
		<label>Password: </label>
		<input type="password" name = "password" />
		<input type="submit" name="submit" value="login" />

    Thanks a lot Nick, that worked fine.

    There is another page which has similar issue. But in that case, the echo is needed. In this page, as I am the only person accessing this page, removing the echo works, but visitors should be able to see that echo in other page. How can I handle that?

    Although not recomended, you can also use output buffering, to overcome that.

    u should not have any output before your header('loction:xx');

    use output buffering, OR adapt your script, if its just 1 echo, im sure u'll find a way, i have this problem all the time, and usually just fix it by switching things around.

    harldy ever do i use buffering

    i dont get the point of your first echo anyway u are echoing, and then redirecting ? so who is gonna see the echo ?

    anyways, feel free to ask me for help.

    At the top of your php code place:

    <?php 
ob_start();
?>
    PHP:
    and at the end of your php code place:

    
<?php
ob_flush();
?>
    PHP:
