    Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started a

    hi,
    can anybody help me i this regards.
    problem is as follows

    i have a form .
    here i am getting a value through a file.
    based on the value i decide the header.but before that i pass a meta data also.

    <html>
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;url=http://localhost/cba.php" />
    <?php
    $handle=fopen('c:/aaa.txt','r');
    $a=fgets($handle);
    fclose($handle);
    if($a!=0)
    header( 'refresh: 5; url=http://localhost/abc.php' );
    else
    header( 'refresh: 5; url=http://localhost/cba.php' );
    ?>
    </html>

    so here once i do this a warning will come up saying
    "Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\abc.php:7) in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\abc.php on line 462
    "

    Sorry about the delayed response. I have been gone for a little while, but I am back now.

    When using the header() function in PHP, there can be nothing output to the screen before the function is called. Any HTML is considered output to the screen. What you need to do is move your PHP code to before the HTML as follows:

    PHP Code:
    <?php
    $handle    =fopen('c:/aaa.txt','r');
    $a=fgets($handle);
    fclose($handle);
    if(    $a!=0)
    header( 'refresh: 5; url=http://localhost/abc.php' );
    else
    header( 'refresh: 5; url=http://localhost/cba.php' );
    ?>
    <html>
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;url=http://localhost/cba.php" />
    </html>
    Viola! No more error.

    Re: Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output start

    hi,
    i m getting the same "Cannot modify header information - headers already sent in .. " error. There's no white space b4 or after php tags. Here is my code-

    <? ob_start(); ?>
    <?php
    session_start();
    if(isset($_POST['login']))
    {
    if(!$fh = fopen('pwd.dat','w')) {
    do_error_exit('Error opening data file. <br />Please contact the system administrator. <br />Sorry for the inconvenience.');
    }

    $username1[0]= 'kaly';
    $username1[1]= crypt('mypassword','rl');

    $user_pass_string= implode('=',$username1);
    fwrite($fh,"$user_pass_string\n");

    flock($fh);
    flush($fh);
    fclose($fh);

    $username = $_POST['username'];
    $password = $_POST['pswd'];

    $tempwd = crypt($password,'rl');

    $fh = fopen('pwd.dat','r');

    for($line = fgets($fh); !feof($fh) ; $line = fgets($fh))
    {
    $line = trim($line);
    $userData = explode("=",$line);
    if ($userData[0] == $username)
    $pass = $userData[1];

    }
    fclose($fh);
    if (crypt($password, $pass) == $pass){
    $_SESSION['phplogin'] = true;
    header('Location: index.php');
    exit;
    } else {
    ?>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    <!--
    alert('Wrong Password, Please Try Again')
    //-->
    </script>
    <?php
    }
    }

    I would say Short Tags are not enabled on your host. You can change it in your php.ini file but it is easiest to fix the code.

    Change:
    PHP Code:
    <? ob_start(); ?>
    To:
    PHP Code:
    <?php ob_start(); ?>
    Remember to change the line at the bottom as well.

    Actually what needs to happen, is you need to move
    PHP Code:
    <? ob_start(); ?>
    to just before you actually have output you are buffering as this function opens the output buffer which is where your problem lies.

    My recommendation is to move it just before this line:
    HTML Code:
    <script type="text/javascript">
