RE: [PHP] HTTP headers and include()

See if is there some kind of echo before header()s, or HTML sent to browser. You cannot do this <html> <head> Bla bla <?php header("Location : any_script.php\n\n");?> </head> <body> .... </body> </html> Why? Because there is already content sent to the browser. If some code uses header() place it before any output. As I said sometimes a simple echo() breaks all.
