Re: Re: One more 'Headers Already Sent' error. :-(

I wanted the script to redirect to different locations based on what conditions were being met. My problem turned out that I had an include statement including an html file prior to the header function on line 17. If I understand this correctly, the include statement was providing 'output' and then it was trying to output again later in the header() function. By moving my include statement outside the <?php .....?> in the intial section of code, it wasn't providing the output until after my header() function had completed and there wasn't an issue anymore. Thanks for your help. ...Brad "Erik Price" <pricee@hhbrown.com> wrote in message news:766A44A0-8905-11D6-9500-0050E4857868@hhbrown.com... > > On Tuesday, June 25, 2002, at 06:07 PM, Brad Melendy wrote: > > > Well, I have traced this down to line 4 in the following code > > 'include("header.html");' which just includes my navigation bar.
