Inclusion file problems.

[Anon]

This one has me confounded. I have two inclusion files I am calling to all of my pages. They have functions in them such as checking user names, passwords, starting sessions, and connecting to databases.

The problem is when I call these two files the headers are being sent before I can send them and I am getting all kinds of warnings.

So I got rid of the include files and put the code directly into the pages and it works fine! There are no spaces and I have surrounded the code in the include files with the start and end tags.

Why are the headers being sent first I can't figure out? I call the include files as the very first thing in my code as you are supposed to. What should I check next?

Thanks,

Justin

Justin,

Can you give some more info about your problem?

If you have a code that calls another file

include('hello.php');

then, you want to set a cookie or some other header action:

$time();
setcookie("test", $time);

if hello.php has any loose text, it will mess up the setcookie

what I mean by loose text is, anything that is not part of a variable or is not a query, for example.
