Notice: A session had already been started - ignoring session_start() in /home/user/public_html/finalweb/header.php on line 3
the session was started in my login file as seen below
<?php
ini_set("session.save_path", "/home/unn_w22016721/sessionData");
session_start();
the session variable was created in the same login file after login checks were complete as seen below
if (!array_filter($errors)) {
$Username = mysqli_real_escape_string($conn, $_POST['username']);
$pwd = mysqli_real_escape_string($conn, $_POST['Password']);
$_SESSION['logged-in'] = true;
if ($_SESSION['logged-in']) {
# code...
$_SESSION['username'] = $Username;
// echo "session has been set";
// echo $_SESSION['username'];
header("location: index.php");
}
}
the session variable is called in the header/navbar file as seen below
<?php
ini_set("session.save_path", "/home/unn_w22016721/sessionData");
session_start();
?>

I tried to remove the session_start() in the header file but then my dynamic changes were'nt taking effect. i'm not sure how to fix this error because i know the session has to be called in any page i'm going to use it. Please i'll appreciate any suggestions as i'm very new to php, thanks!
