[RESOLVED] headers already sent?

[rsmith]

The below script modifies the meta-tags associated with my site. It pulls from a form using POST and inserts the data correctly but when it goes to redirect I get an error stating that the headers were already sent.

<?
			//Get the posted data
				$metaKeywords = $_POST['metaKeywords'];
				$metaDescription = $_POST['metaDescription'];

		//Update the database
			$query = "INSERT INTO General SET 
												metaKeywords = '".$metaKeywords."', 
												metaDescription = '".$metaDescription."'";
			$result = mysql_query($query);

		//Check for errors in the query.	
			if(!$result){
				echo "There was an error updating the database: ".mysql_error();
			}else{
				echo "Meta-Tags updated successfully.";
				header("Refresh: 2; url=admin.php");
			}
?>

TIA

You should not be outputting anything before the header call unless your using output buffering.

So this

echo "Meta-Tags updated successfully.";
header("Refresh: 2; url=admin.php");

should be

header("Refresh: 2; url=admin.php");
echo "Meta-Tags updated successfully.";

or place 'ob_start();' at the top of your file.

ob_start(); worked. Thanks!
