Get rid of the space in <? php

The error should return the line number and filename.

I did, that doesn't fix it, the error is on line 3:
Header( "Location: http://db.gotocity.com/local/2/us/");
Parse error: parse error in /test.php on line 3

Hi JC,

Try this : It works perfectly fine on my comp.
<?php
Header( "Location: http://www.yahoo.com");
exit;
?>
Actually, even if u have a single space before the Header function it wont work.

In case of any other help please feel free to write to me.

Thanks,
Mandy.

JC,

Another way to solve this problem is to use output buffering. Output buffering acn be turned on in the php.ini file, but does cause a performance hit. If you don't use alot of cookies or headers on your site, take a look at the output buffering functions in the PHP Function Reference:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.outcontrol.php

Some of the functions are only available in PHP4, but I think there are work arounds if upgrading isn't an option. Sorry, can't remember any links:-( Hope this helps!!

Cheers,
