Any whitespace in any file before the <?php will cause data to be sent
to the browser forcing the headers to be sent. So make sure the first
line of your page has <?php and it is a good idea to drop the ?> from
included pages as there may be blank lines following which are just as
bad. So the rule is, header() can go anywhere but before any output to
the browser.
