2,435 PointsSO i managed to see thath theres something wrong with : this code :
//passed
} else {
$_SESSION['status']['register']['error'][] = 'The First Name is too long!';
} else {
$_SESSION['status']['register']['error'][] = 'The First Name is too long!';
} else {
$_SESSION['status']['register']['error'][] = 'The First Name is too long!';
}
My current code is :
if(isset($_POST['first_name'])) {
$first_name = $_POST['first_name'];
if(strlen($first_name) > 2) {
//passed
} else {
$_SESSION['status']['register']['error'][] = 'The First Name is too long!';
} else {
$_SESSION['status']['register']['error'][] = 'The First Name is too long!';
} else {
$_SESSION['status']['register']['error'][] = 'The First Name is too long!';
}
}
}

PHP will show you errors on the page, but sometimes when a PHP error occurs, the error will not be able to print to the web page you are working on and it will give you a blank page. A blank page will not explain what the problem is. The logfile will show you the error that is causing the page not to work and will help you solve the issue. Logfiles are important to use when working on developing web applications.
What server are you using? WAMP/XAMP?

4,819 PointsTo answer part of your question on the redirect. Make sure none of your code puts out any info to the user, including whitespaces, This will stop header from working. Common issue is the inculdes. Remove any ?> at the end of your include files, stops rogue whitespaces popping up. Also some browsers won't see the URI in the header unless it's a full url. IE www.example.com/index.php
