Can you show us your code.. However you will need to have the headers done before any output.

So in other words you do have output before your headers. In fact, you try to shovel a load of stuff out to the user, and then try and send them to another page before they've seen it. A bit wasteful, that.

Try searching the forums for "cannot modify header information".
