the header() function sends the user to another web page. why show a header() if you intend to show the user a web page?

remove the line:
include ("banner.html");
because header() must be called before anything is sent to the user

Remember that header() must be called before any actual output is sent, either by normal HTML tags blank lines in a file, or from PHP. It is a very common error to read code with include(), or require(), functions, or another file access function, and have spaces or empty lines that are output before header() is called. The same problem exists when using a single PHP/HTML file.

<?php require("user_logging.inc") ?>

<?php header ("Content-type: audio/x-pn-realaudio"); ?>
// Broken, Note the blank lines above

Note: In PHP 4, you can use output buffering to get around this problem, with the overhead of all of your output to the browser being buffered in the server until you send it. You can do this by calling ob_start() and ob_end_flush() in your script, or setting the output_buffering configuration directive on in your php.ini or server configuration files.
