Question

I am working on a PHP website whose code I inherited from a development team. I am trying to get it to run properly on my local machine (Windows 7/Apache/Zend Studio), but I am having trouble with the login. Instead of directing me to the front page, it sends me to a blank screen with a bunch of debug info. If I then try again and manually go to the front page then it accurately shows my status as logged in. I have very few debugging leads except for a PHP error:

Source File: 
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Zend\Apache2\htdocs\weatherbell.com\public\fitch\lib\FJF_BASE.php : 113

Error String:
    Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at C:\Program Files (x86)\Zend\Apache2\htdocs\weatherbell.com\public\fitch\lib\FJF_BASE.php:28) in C:\Program Files (x86)\Zend\Apache2\htdocs\weatherbell.com\public\fitch\lib\FJF_BASE.php on line 113

Backtrace:

• FJF_BASE.php
• session_model.php
• login.php
• index.php

Here is some additional debug info:

I am not sure if this is the cause of the problem. The website makes extensive use of Mod_rewrite – so maybe that is the cause…

Here is my .htaccess, just in case:

IndexIgnore *

order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
</Limit>
<Limit PUT DELETE>

And for completeness, here is my httpd.conf.

I am new to PHP, Mod_rewrite, and server installation in general – so I would really appreciate some help!

Answer 1

This is the line:

$data = date("m/d/Y h:i:s") . " " . number_format(microtime(), 3) . "(" . $method . "): " . $str . "\n";

number_format expects a float, but microtime by default returns a string, what may, depending on error_reporting, result in a notice. This notice will be the output.

I would simply remove this:

number_format(microtime(), 3) 

… I don’t think microseconds are necessary for debugging in any way.
