note 52661 added to function.header

To spare some of you the mental anguish ang torture, be wary of line feeds & blank spaces in your script before calling the header() function. example: start of file ---- <? header('file.php'); ?> <html> . . . html codes follow This may look like an innocent and correct script but the space between the imaginary start of file marker and the "<?" will be read as a sent header to the browser. You may end up spending hours trying to to debug the script and might even end up looking through the server configs figuring this out. This problem is not so obvious. This solution is only applicable to php configurations that don't use output buffering. Happy hunting. ;) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+52661 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52661&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52661&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52661&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52661&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52661&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+52661&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
