This top is already created and i have looked at almost all of them but i am still having this issue. The problem i am having is when I try to login to my admin panel everything flows great until i get to the admin dashboard page where it kicks me back to login. I have tried everything and i have one answer. It myself think that for some reason its to saying that i have made a session. My code for login_process.php and dashboard.php are:

login_process.php (Starts the session here. I get no incorrect details error!)

<?php

include '../includes/settings.php';
include '../includes/mysql.php';

$email = $_POST['email'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
$password_hashed = md5($email . $password);

$sql = "SELECT * FROM admins WHERE email='$email' AND password='$password_hashed'";
$result = $conn->query($sql);

if(!$row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
    Header("Location: {$website_domain}/admin/login?s=1");

} else {
    session_start();
    $_SESSION["id"] = $row['id'];
    $_SESSION["loggedIn"] = true;
    Header("Location: {$website_domain}/admin/dashboard");
}
?>

dashboard.php (header.php has session_start(); so i don't have to re-add that =)

<?php


if(!isset($_SESSION['loggedIn'])) {
    header("Location: {$website_domain}/admin/login");
}
require_once('assets/header.php');
?>

    Your code is vulnerable to [**SQL injection**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL_injection) attacks. You should use [**mysqli**](https://secure.php.net/manual/en/mysqli.prepare.php) or [**PDO**](https://secure.php.net/manual/en/pdo.prepared-statements.php) prepared statements with bound parameters as described in [**this post**](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60174/how-can-i-prevent-sql-injection-in-php). – Alex Howansky May 05 '17 at 18:54
  • MD5 is not sufficient for password hashing. Use [`password_hash()`](http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.password-hash.php) and [`password_verify()`](http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.password-verify.php) instead. – Alex Howansky May 05 '17 at 18:54
  • I am only using MD5 for the time being. I am just now learning to code and i am just making the basic login before i go through everything and make it secure. Any help on why this isn't working tho? – Jarrod Estepp May 05 '17 at 18:58

    _"header.php has session_start(); so i don't have to re-add that"_ - well you are checking `if(!isset($_SESSION['loggedIn'])) {` __before__ you embed the header.php, how do you expect that to work out? // Put session_start at the very top of all of your scripts. Period. Don't argue. Apart from some including, do not execute anything else before you have not started the session. (There might be reasons to only start a session under specific circumstance - but on your beginner level, you should not worry about those.) – CBroe May 05 '17 at 19:00

    _"before i go through everything and make it secure."_ This is a bad way to build software. You think you'll go back later to fix it, but that doesn't happen in the real world. Get into the habit of doing it the right way from the start. It doesn't take any more effort to type `password_hash()` than it does to type `md5()`. – Alex Howansky May 05 '17 at 19:00
  • This is my first project. I am just learning lo. I appreciate the note tho. I am not planning on using this in reality. This is a learning project. I appreciate the help tho! – Jarrod Estepp May 05 '17 at 19:40

session_start(); must be on the top:

<?php
session_start();

You move require_once('assets/header.php'); up and take care that session_start(); is on the top. For more details look at Where exactly do I put a SESSION_START?
