I have seen this question alot recently. Maybe it is time for an FAQ. Maybe
somebody
else would like to have an attempt at wording this better:
Q: (7.15?) I want to use the "header" function to do something like a
redirect, but I keep
getting messages about the headers having already been sent.
A: The headers are sent to the browser just before the first piece of content
is sent. Content is
a) Any text generated by a PHP output function ( such as "print" or
"echo" )
b) Any text before, after or between the "<?php ... ?>" blocks.
The usual reason to get this error message, when you would swear blind
you
aren't outputting anything yet, is white space before outside of the code
blocks. Eg:
<?php require("user_logging.inc") ?>
<?php header ("Content-Type: audio/x-pn-realaudio"); ?>
// Broken, Note the blank lines above will be treated as
// content and cause the headers to be sent
If you changed the above code to
<?php
require("user_logging.inc");
header ("Content-Type: audio/x-pn-realaudio");
?>
and still got the error, then that probably means extra white-space
somewhere in "user_logging.inc"
