Trouble with PHP style switcher

dugal

I am trying to build a php style switcher for my website, this is what I am using in the head of the document

<?php
   $layout = (isset($_COOKIE['layout']) && ($_COOKIE['layout'] == "grey")) ? "grey" : "main";
   ?>

   <style type="text/css" media="screen,projection">
   @import '<?php echo $layout; ?>.css';
   </style>

and the link to change the style is like this

<a href="www.greenermountian.net/switcher/" >click here to change to grey style!</a>

this is in the www.greenermountian.net/switcher/index.php

<?php
   $layout = (isset($_COOKIE['layout']) && ($_COOKIE['layout'] == "grey")) ? "main" : "grey";
   setcookie("layout", $layout, time()+31536000, '/');
   $ref = (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])) ? $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] : "http://{$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']}/";
   header("Location: $ref");
   ?>

when I put it all together I get the following error message:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/drrichar/public_html/greenermountian/styleswitch/index.php:1) in /home/drrichar/public_html/greenermountian/styleswitch/index.php on line 3

all grey.css and main.css are in the root directory.

Any help would be appriciated!

Make sure there is no spaces or text before the php tags.

Thank you so much! That did the trick, I had hoped it was something simple!!

I appreciate your time Brad!

Is it asking too much to find out how to change this script to offer three choices instead of two?
