localhost redirected you too many times. ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

Question

I keep getting this error since last night for my index.php page only. i have cleared all my cookies but still i cant access index.php on local host. i have looked at other solutions but couldn't find an answer.

I think it is to do with my index.php code which redirects me to the same page to login. but i am new to web development i am not sure how to tackle the issue. below i have provided snippet of my index.php and login.php. any help is highly appreciated.

login.php

 <?php session_start(); // Change this to your connection info. $DB_HOST = 'localhost'; $DB_USER = 'root'; $DB_PASS = ''; $DB_NAME = 'ecom'; // Try and connect using the info above. $con = mysqli_connect($DB_HOST, $DB_USER, $DB_PASS, $DB_NAME); if ( mysqli_connect_errno() ) { // If there is an error with the connection, stop the script and display the error. die ('Failed to connect to MySQL: ' . mysqli_connect_error()); } // Now we check if the data from the login form was submitted, isset() will check if the data exists. if ( !isset($_POST['username'], $_POST['password']) ) { // Could not get the data that should have been sent. die ('Please fill both the username and password field!'); } if ($stmt = $con->prepare('SELECT id, password FROM users WHERE username = ?')) { // Bind parameters (s = string, i = int, b = blob, etc), in our case the username is a string so we use "s" $stmt->bind_param('s', $_POST['username']); $stmt->execute(); // Store the result so we can check if the account exists in the database. $stmt->store_result(); } if ($stmt->num_rows > 0) { $stmt->bind_result($id, $password); $stmt->fetch(); // Account exists, now we verify the password. // password_hash function in is used in registration file to store the hashed passwords. if (password_verify($_POST['password'], $password)) { // Verification success! User has loggedin! // Create sessions so we know the user is logged in, they basically act like cookies but remember the data on the server. session_regenerate_id(); $_SESSION['loggedin'] = TRUE; $_SESSION['name'] = $_POST['username']; $_SESSION['id'] = $id; /*echo 'Welcome ' . $_SESSION['name'] . '!';*/ header('Location: index.php'); } else { echo 'Incorrect password!'; } } else { echo 'Incorrect username!'; } $stmt->close(); ?>

index.php

 <?php // We need to use sessions, so you should always start sessions using the below code. session_start(); // If the user is not logged in redirect to the login page... if (!isset($_SESSION['loggedin'])) { header('Location:index.php'); exit(); } ?> <!doctype html> <html lang="en"> <head> <!-- Required meta tags --> <title>City Outlet</title> <meta charset="utf-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no"> <!-- Bootstrap CSS --> <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.2.1/css/bootstrap.min.css"> <link href="css/style.css?10" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> <!-- awesome-font CSS --> <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css"> </head> <body> <!--========== Top bar Area ============--> <header class="topbar"> <nav> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <a style="color:white; font-size:18" href="logout.php"><i class="fa fa-sign-out style="font-size:24px; color:white;""></i>Logout</a> &nbsp; &nbsp; <button href="" class="btn login btn-default d-inline-flex" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#loginModal" ><i class="fa fa-sign-in" style="font-size:24px" value="login" onClick="showModal()" ></i> Login</button> &nbsp; &nbsp; <button href="" class="btn login btn-default d-inline-flex" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#signupModal"><i class="fa fa-user" style="font-size:24px" ></i> Sign Up</button> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </nav> <p style="color:white; font-weight:bold; text-align:right; line-height:-10px; margin-top: 7px;"> Welcome: <strong style="color:red; font-weight:bold;"><?=$_SESSION['name']?></strong>!

On index.php This part of the code.

if (!isset($_SESSION['loggedin'])) {
    header('Location:index.php'); // redirecting to same page.
    exit();
}

You are redirecting to the same page if the user is not log in, thats why you have the infinite redirects... You must redirect to other page like a login page.
