Header() Question

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Oct 07.2005

I have this contact form and I use the header function to process the new info.

Here is my error
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/showmes/public_html/header.php:4) in /home/showmes/public_html/contact.php on line 16

My question is could adding ,false fix that error?
<?PHP header(“Location: index.php”, false); ?>

@emin3mOct 07.2005 — possibly you header.php is already outputting something on the browser

so contact cant use the header function

replace [CODE]<?PHP header("Location: index.php", false); ?>[/CODE]
with [CODE]<?php
echo "<script language='javascript'>
document.location='index.php';
</script>"
exit(); //exit is optional
?>[/CODE]

@madddidleyauthorOct 07.2005 — I'm sorry I am using <?PHP header("Location: index.php"); ?>.

Do you think adding the ,false would help.

Here is a little snipet from php.net

The optional replace parameter indicates whether the header should replace a previous similar header, or add a second header of the same type. By default it will replace, but if you pass in FALSE as the second argument you can force multiple headers of the same type.

But thanks, I will try the javascript.

@NogDogOct 07.2005 — That error occurs if [i]anything[/i] on that page outputs even just one space or linefeed character to the browser before the header() function is called. This means your page needs to start out with the [b]<?php[/b] tag with no spaces or linefeeds before it, and then the header() call must come before you do any outputs via echo, print, etc.

@madddidleyauthorOct 11.2005 — Well, I never got that error with the header function on my local server for testing or any my other host. Just on this one for this client. I changed the header() to the javascript and that fixed my problems as far as that goes. But now I am using a cookie to make sure he's logged in and I get the same error.

<?PHP setcookie("cookieLogin",$id,0); ?>

I don't get this error either when I'm testing on my computer but I do on this server through www.mher.org. Do you think they could have something turned off or something like that?
