Mike, While that's not the only way to go somewhere else, if it is the way the other guy wrote the code to get around, ripping it out an replacing it with something else could be a problem. The error message you are referring to indicates that something was sent to the browser before it attempted to send a header (usually used to get around). One line number in the message refers to a line of code that output something before the header function was executed, the other to the line number of the header statement itself. Most common causes of this is a debug message designed to show values of variables during debug was executed before the header statement. Solution: either fix the bug and remove the debug display (usually an echo), or remove or comment out the debug echo statement. Probably the second most common cause is switching to html mode; Php code goes here ?> and html code goes here <?php code again ?> In html mode even a blank line will result in stuff being sent to the browser before the header statement is encountered. If you nest the html under an if statement, you can cause it not to generate output. Hope this helps, Warren Vail -----Original Message----- From: news [mailto:news@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of MikeA Sent: Thursday, November 04, 2004 7:06 PM To: php-windows@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Headers Already Sent - How To Overcome???? Thanks for the answer to my problem. I tried this and it caused other problems. Seems like the only way to get from one place to another is with the header(Location: ) command. I was hoping there was something else. So I am now kind of rewriting this guys application so it works properly. Again, thanks for the response.
