A long time ago, this error message would only have told you that the
line 168 was "wrong" and that data had already been sent earlier.

Now, however, buried in this error message, is the EXACT LINE of code
where the data was already sent:

/home/webadmin/dedicated75.virtual.vps-host.net/html/fortuneInteractive/Consultation_test.php:6

Line 6, of Consultation_test.php is the culprit.

WARNING:
Emacs, by default, on some system, will automatically ADD a newline
character at the end of any file you edit.

In older versions of PHP (possibly pre-dating this error message) that
would be problematic.  It may STILL be problematic for all I know.  I
don't use Emacs, but recall the grief it caused many a PHP beginner
from long ago on the list.

Disclosure:
I may have been the first/loudest to request that the original line of
data output be logged by PHP internally so that this message could
inform you of this fact.  Hell, for all I know, I'm the only guy that
asked for it.  Oh well.  It's there.  Use it.

Re: [PHP] Re: form not submitting when I change action from PHP_SELF to thanks page

[Bruce Gilbert]

when I put the die statment in and test the form I get, the html prior to
the form and what I put in my die statement eg:"made it to this point". The
form submits and I get the info, but I am not redirected to the Thanks page.

 My question is how do I determine from this what is causing my error?

Re: [PHP] Re: form not submitting when I change action from PHP_SELF to thanks page

[tg-php]

You don't have to put anything specific, it just stops the script from 
executing.

You can optionally put text in there.  I like using die() for some reason 
(shorter? more.. err.. aggressive? hah)  so I'll using commands like:

die("Made it to this point...");

I might use this to see if I got to a certain conditional or not..

Anyway, if you're getting that error, then there's definitely something being 
sent before the header() is executed.

Check any require() or include() files, check all the code above your header() 
statement.  So far I've never seen or heard of any bugs with header() where 
it'd mysteriously bomb out in this manner, it's always been something output 
and it's always been something people kick themselves for not seeing before. hah

Keep looking, you'll find it.

I checked and no white space involved. What would I need to put tin the

Here's the simple solution (put it at the top of your script:

ob_start();

Re: [PHP] Re: form not submitting when I change action from PHP_SELF to thanks page

[tg-php]

Check to make sure absolutely nothing before the header() function is outputing 
anything.  No echos, no prints, no var_dumps, no HTML or even blank lines.

If it's something tangible like an echo or print or something, then putting an 
exit()/die() function right before the header() function then looking at the 
HTML source that you get should show you what the offending output is.

But again, if I recall, it can be something as simple as an empty line.

= = = Original message = = =

when I add that code I can the following error msg when submitting the form.
 " *Warning*: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by
(output started at /home/webadmin/dedicated75.virtual.vps-
host.net/html/fortuneInteractive/Consultation_test.php:6)
in */home/webadmin/dedicated75.virtual.vps-
host.net/html/fortuneInteractive/Consultation_test.php
* on line *168* "
 line 168 is the one with header( 'Location: thanks.php' );
on it.
 can anyone explain why this is happening and how to rectify?
 TIA

Right after this line:

mail ($to, $subject, $msg, $mailheaders);

And you will already be within PHP interpretation.
