Fw: [PHP] Re: One more 'Headers Already Sent' error. :-(

You're absolutely certain that the two include statements above include("header.html") are not outputing anything to the screen? "<?php" starts the first line of this file? You're run this script directly and not including it from another script? What happens if you change the file name to header.inc or header.php? -Kevin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brad Melendy" <brad@techknow.biz> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, June 25, 2002 4:07 PM Subject: [PHP] Re: One more 'Headers Already Sent' error. :-( > Well, I have traced this down to line 4 in the following code > 'include("header.html");' which just includes my navigation bar.
