Single Page Password Protection problem

[donjohnson24]

I'm using CRUD to edit a CSV file on https://donjohnson24.co.uk/availdogs.php
and would like to password protect just this page
However when the page is loaded I get the message
Notice: session_start(): A session had already been started - ignoring in /home/updwk6ykpahr/public_html/availdogs.php on line 7
at the top of the screen
If I ignore this and enter the appropriate password, the required page opens, but with the error message still at the top
If I close the page, and re-open it (on the same PC) the password entry screen does not appear and the page opens immediately

I assume this is because the page itself is php not html, and the password function is using php as well

If I use javascript instead of php, the page that opens after entering the password (without any error message) looks like this ??

csv_filename = 'Availz.csv'; $csv_edit->csv_delimiter = ','; $csv_edit->csv_enclosure = '"'; $csv_edit->csv_escape = "\\"; $csv_edit->csv_fields = ['0' => ['title' => 'Title', 'placeholder' => '', 'type' => 'editbox', 'required' => false, 'listview' => true, 'maxlength' => ''], '1' => ['title' => 'Start Date', 'placeholder' => 'Start Date', 'type' => 'editbox', 'required' => true, 'listview' => true, 'maxlength' => ''], '2' => ['title' => 'Start Time', 'placeholder' => '', 'type' => 'editbox', 'required' => false, 'listview' => true, 'maxlength' => ''], '3' => ['title' => 'End Date', 'placeholder' => 'End Date', 'type' => 'editbox', 'required' => true, 'listview' => true, 'maxlength' => '20'], '4' => ['title' => 'End Time', 'placeholder' => '', 'type' => 'editbox', 'required' => false, 'listview' => true, 'maxlength' => ''], '5' => ['title' => 'Colour', 'placeholder' => '', 'type' => 'editbox', 'required' => false, 'listview' => true, 'maxlength' => ''], '6' => ['title' => 'URL', 'placeholder' => '', 'type' => 'editbox', 'required' => false, 'listview' => true, 'maxlength' => '']]; $csv_edit->items_per_page = 10; $csv_edit->labels['add_record'] = 'Add Record'; $csv_edit->labels['reset_search'] = 'Reset search'; $csv_edit->labels['search'] = 'Search'; $csv_edit->labels['cancel'] = 'Cancel'; $csv_edit->labels['save'] = 'Save'; $csv_edit->labels['saved'] = 'Saved'; $csv_edit->labels['delete'] = 'Delete'; $csv_edit->labels['edit'] = 'Edit'; $csv_edit->labels['copy'] = 'Copy'; $csv_edit->labels['action'] = 'Action'; $csv_edit->labels['deleted'] = 'Deleted'; $csv_edit->labels['previous'] = 'Previous'; $csv_edit->labels['next'] = 'Next'; $csv_edit->labels['ok'] = 'OK'; $csv_edit->labels['no_results'] = 'No result'; $csv_edit->labels['error_validate'] = 'Please complete required fields => '; $csv_edit->Render(); ?>

The password is Scramble at the moment

Can I amend something to solve this?

BTW I'm keeping the Forum busy with this latest little task, and I do appreciate any help

Unfortunately, the extension was not designed to be used this way, because extensions do not have access to HTML of the page, so there is no way to know what other code is on the page

OK That makes sense, I'll manage without a password Thanks

Just in case anyone is interested, I used the HTTP authentication Protection method, with the specified entry in the .htaccess file, and it now works fine
