never heard of flashing before! really happy for this course!

[westcrosby]

Just FYI, I put Javascript at the top of my register.php file to help with creating category/subcategory auto-populated fields.  I kept getting "headers already sent (output started.... " warnings.  Once I put ob_start() at the top of init.php I could finally get the Session:flash message.

I got a blank white page just as you did.  When I processed register.php again, it worked!  Thanks for the great tutorials!

Copy paste this code to fix the blank page problem.

register.php
session::put('success', 'You registered successfully');
header('Location: index.php');
session.php
remove the else statement from the flash function
index.php
echo session::flash('success');

That should fix your blank page problems :)

I had awful problems with the form not redirecting : do not put a freaking space between Location and :
It must be header('Location: index.php').
The other problem of the string not flashing on index.php is because in the flash function you don't return the string in the else statement, so if it doesn't exist, it gets created but not returned. I think...
Got mine working this way anyway.

For some reason when I refresh after I get the "You registered successfully!" on the index.php page, the page stays the same. Is there a delay in time before the string gets deleted?

Shouldn't you escape the cookies contents?
Or is there no possibility to modify such session-cookies with an addon?
-> you could insert and echo php, I think

[GwidazMan]

It didnt worked before with that white screen, because to set the session you have to do it twice actually..I mean forst it will set but second time it will show only..

[wrongbet]

One of the reasons some of you hit the Register button & it does "nothing", is that you probably did not assign the proper value to the 'name' attribute of the hidden input element for the token, which in this example is 'token'.
Rare error but happens.

Are some of this abstraction layers really necessary?

[familysuitcase]

Having the same problems as others with the page not redirecting. The only solution that worked for me is having ob_start(); as the first bit of code on the register page. Not sure what repercussions this may have though.

Can someone help me out?? nothing happens when i click register! no errors warning no nothing...

[LynxaaOG]

For the flesh method to flash a message after adding it, you need to return the new message in inside the else block.

e.g;
(re-add the .com)
pastebin com/8YyC5Pzu

Thanks for the reply,
i tried the code at the URl you send, but it did not work for me, still redirected to index.php without the flash message

[japjap]

Excuse Me The "You registered successfully!" doesn't pop-up on the index.php. Can you please help me. I stuck on this.

Codecourse please I need your help.

[bFix]

Why aren't you using the database for such functionality btw.?

[Jessie-nwej]

PLEASE note if you are hung up on this video and your website is not working right, but you got the same errors as the lecturer move on to the next video he does a similar command that you can use that resolves the problem. DON'T fret over it. Figured it out on my own. 

Warm regards people * smiles *

When I hit register, I get the same registration page with username and name fields filled and only after filling passwords second time and hitting Register button again I'm redirected to index page. Everything else works just fine. Anyone knows what could be the problem? Tnx

[Mchaker]

Need your help here folks, im always getting this Fatal error: Call to a member function count() on a non-object in on line 45 every time i click on register button.

alex i have learnt php from you, you are the greatest teacher. but i don't understand why always using static methods? why don't you use just public methods? static is a class level and on different users  it may cause bugs, when non-static methods will be object  level and  specific for each user. it is too much confusing

[artmix]

i made it work only if the $string = null, when my $string  = '' in the function, then i had the blank page, i dont know why is that, but when i changed it to null, its all good now, try it out
