Hi guys,

I have this simple file test.php on my site:
<?php
ob_start();
header("Location: http://www.yahoo.com");
exit;
ob_end_flush();
?>

There is no whitespaces before or after the <?, ?>.

When I run the file I get this warning:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at...?

Any ideas, I'm stumped..

Thanks in advance.

Remove the exit statement.

If you look at the page you will see ï»¿ before the warning this is the output that is causing the problem

Thanks for your response, and forgive my ignorance, I'm not sure what you mean ? Can you explain what is causing the output? the letter in your post seems garbled.

thanks again./

Thats not garbled that is the output! I assume it's something from your host, but I can't be certain.

How can you see it, I can only see a blank line.

Thank you

Thats a bit of a puzzle. What version of php are you using?

In your example, ob_end_flush() is not really required since an automatic flush will be done at the end of your script. But it still should work.

On your website, copy test.php to test.phps so we can look at the source. Might be some white space in there somewhere that you are just not seeing.

PHP ver 4.4.4, I copied test.php to test.phps

thanks for your help.

I see it in all three browsers (Opera, Firefox and even IE).

This is the source html

ï»¿<br />
<b>Warning</b>:  Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home2/equinoxc/public_html/test.php:1) in <b>/home2/equinoxc/public_html/test.php</b> on line <b>3</b><br />

That's weird, I only see the <br >, what would cause this output??

Thanks again.

Thank you so much for your help I got it.
You've set me on the right track, I edited the file in notepad it seemed ok, I edited the file using the control panel editor of my website and I found those letters you mentioned, deleted them and voila it worked.
I don't know why would notepad inserts those letter when you save the document, lessson learned.

Thanks again for your help.
