Hello, I have a function catching the output of a script: function encodeDomain ($domain) {
        ob_start();
        system("echo '$domain'");
        $output = ob_get_contents();
        ob_end_clean();
} And I have a php-script using this function: <? encodeDomain($domain); header("Location: http://www.php.net"); ?> While this worked fine in PHP4, with PHP5.0.4 I always get the following error: Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent in test.php on line 4 The redirect works if I don't use the encodeDomain() function. Does the system-output affect the php-outout status in any way? I checked the raw http-output and I can see nothing of the output from the system()-call. Does maybe PHP simply say "output has been send" although it hasn't been send actually? Regards Marten
