I an now getting this error for some reason. This was generated by PHP Form Magic. I have read that the Header has to be the first item. Below is the last few lines. I am redirecting the success to another page.

if(!file_exists($pfw_file_name))
{
$pfw_is_first_row = true ;
}
if (!$pfw_handle = fopen($pfw_file_name, 'a+')) {
die("Cannot open file ($pfw_file_name)");
exit;
}
if ($pfw_is_first_row)
{
if (fwrite($pfw_handle, $pfw_first_raw ) === FALSE) {
die("Cannot write to file ($pfw_filename)");
exit;
}
}
if (fwrite($pfw_handle, $pfw_values) === FALSE) {
die("Cannot write to file ($pfw_filename)");
exit;
}
fclose($pfw_handle);
header("Location: success.htm");
?>

It's hard to diagnose without seeing your form and stuff. Did you edit the generated page in a text editor. Some text editors add a line break which is not visable in the text editor which causes this error most times. Try also to chmod the generated script to chmod 755.

As far as I know this is commonly a "whitespace problem".

The problem arises in some editors that add additional blanks (spaces) and/or empty lines at the end of a file when you edit it.

If you opened the gernated file in a text editor make sure there is no whitespace after the closing </php tag.

Just my 2cents...

After research many have stated this, but I cannot find any white spaces anywhere.

I also found information which stated there cannot have any data before the header - the header is at the bottom. I changed to echo a success entry and it works so the problem is definitely in the line

header("Location: success.htm");

Cool, at least you have isolated the issue.

Maybe this (http://us2.php.net/header) may help you resolve it.

I changed to echo a success entry and it works so the problem is definitely in the line.I an now getting this error for some reason.

Well it seems it's nothing to do with the generated code but your own coding/edits.

Have you tried using the full url:
header("Location: http://www.example.com/success.htm");

Have you tried re-directing using your html form? Maybe add a line to your form. <input type=hidden name="redirect" value="http://you.com/somefile.html">

Just a couple ideas for you :cool:

Even one single inconspicuous space before the doctype declaration at the top of a page can cause that error.
