Header problem

Anon

Hey

I want the next script to count how many times someone clicked a link, and than go on to the actual file. It returns the next error, can someone tell me whats wrong:

<?
include("dbinfo.php");
$artiestid=$HTTP_GET_VARS['artiestid'];
$conn = mysql_connect( $dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass );
mysql_select_db($dbname);

$query1="select * from artiesten where id=$artiestid";

$result=mysql_query($query1);

$url="artiesten.php?artiestid=$artiestid";
$hitcount=mysql_result($result,0,"hitcount");
++$hitcount;

$query2 = "update artiesten set hitcount='$hitcount'
where id='$artiestid'";

mysql_query($query2);

Header("Location: artiesten.php?artiestid=$artiestid");
exit;

?>

Thanx

What error does it display? Your code here looks fine.

Here it is:

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /www/htdocs/lyrics/lyrics4you.org/dbinfo.php:15) in /www/htdocs/lyrics/lyrics4you.org/hitcountartiesten.php on line 19

Ok here is your problem. Either this script or your included script (dbinfo.php) is sending information to the browser. This information is sent either by printing something out deliberately, or having HTML tags or text outside of your opening <?php and closing ?>. Note even 1 space at the beginning or ending of your dbinfo.php script will cause the headers to be sent, as well as 1 space at the beginning of this script, and once headers are sent you can't use the header() function.

Now that I've given you the full information the error tells you everything you need to know to fix this. Your dbinfo.php script looks like it includes another script at line 15, this script hitcountartiesten.php sends some information to the browser at line 19. Sometimes errors aren't exact so those line numbers may be off, but it gives you the place to start looking.
