PHP - Page not redirecting properly.
When I try to login to my testing site, I get a message saying that the page is not directing properly. The browser has also come back with the following error message.
I did clear the cookies.
This page isn’t working
www.tXXXXXXXXXXXX.com redirected you too many times.
The page isn’t redirecting properly
An error occurred during a connection to www.tXXXXXXX.com
This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.I do not have my website set up to neither decline or accept cookies. Is this something that I HAVE to do these days. I have sessions on my page but maybe I do not have those set up correctly?

Screenshot 2023-06-27 at 8.12.25 AM.pngCouldn't seem to upload any actual mini files so following is the code for the configuration page and then the Login page where I think that the errors might be. Also attached is a screenshot of the latest error that the browser is giving me.
<?php
//This is the config.inc.php file for the live site June 24, 2023
// This function redirects invalid users.
// It takes two arguments:
// - The session element to check
// - The destination to where the user will be redirected.
function redirect_invalid_user($check = 'user_id', $destination = 'index.php', $protocol = 'http://') {
// Check for the session item:
if (!isset($_SESSION[$check])) {
$url = $protocol . BASE_URL . $destination; // Define the URL.
header("Location: index.php");
exit(); // Quit the script.
}
} // End of redirect_invalid_user() function.
LOGIN.PHP
<?php

//error_reporting(E_ALL);
//ini_set('display_errors', 1);
// Require the configuration before any PHP code as the configuration controls error reporting:
require ('./includes/config.inc.php');
// Query the database:
$q = "SELECT id, username, pass FROM users WHERE email='$e' AND active IS NULL";
$r = mysqli_query($db, $q) or trigger_error("Query: $q\n<br>MySQL Error: " . mysqli_error($db));
if (mysqli_num_rows($r) == 1) { // A match was made.
// Fetch the values:
list($id, $username, $pass) = mysqli_fetch_array($r, MYSQLI_NUM);
mysqli_free_result($r);
// Check the password:
if (password_verify($p, $pass)) {
// Store the info in the session:
$_SESSION['user_id'] = $id;
$_SESSION['username'] = $username;
mysqli_close($db);
// Redirect the user:
header('Location: MemberProfileTBR.php');
exit(); // Quit the script.

Did you get this solved?

No, Not really.
I checked one of my other sites that I am developing that was based on the same model and was also having some problems with that.
SO I checked everything I could, and decided to update some of the pages. MAYBE I will know what went wrong when that is done, but I think that the redirection code and process was outdated.
Double-check your code that you're not unintentionally creating an infinite loop of redirects.
Add error reporting and logging to see if any specific errors or warnings are being triggered during the redirect process.
Lastly, check if you have any redirects set up in your website's .htaccess file.
