Any idea? cause I am getting this error too

Hi people,

Could you please tell give me the following information:

1. PHP version you are running
2. Any specific settings on the server
3. Folder security settings
4. In addition check your code.

Headers already sent error happens if you edit certain files and leave some white space ( carriage returns or spacebar, spaces etc - well it will happen too if you added text, but you would have noticed doing that! ) usually after the closing php tag:

?&gt;

this is because certain operations in the code will fail if even a single space is sent to the browser first. Before you save a file, check that it does not contain anything after the closing php tag ?&gt; at the bottom of the file.

Well basically I think I found what was, first I use a server test machine with windows 2003 server installed (full ASP and ASP.NET support) with PHP version 5.2.5, Mysql ver. 5.0.51b, basicaly an uptodate test machine (at least I try to keep it updated).
I developed a web site with some forms and used Smart Mailer PHP, all work with no problems on the test machine so I uploaded all on my client hosting and I got the error. The PHP version on the hosting service is the 4.3.10 (I still wonder why host companies dont spend a bit of time updating things...). I looked on other forums to find a solution but nothing so i created a new page with a forum and uploaded it...it worked, at this point I starte look at the code (maybe something wrong), with a file compare program I found few strange chars (that I was unable to see with dreamweaver or other thext editors) at the top of the pages, just pefore the Smart Mailer include.

Basically i did again the page and checked those char were no more on the code and all worked. I dunno where those chars come from (Dreamweaver maybe? I use CS3 btw) also looks like new version of PHP dont read those chars and all works but old versions go crazy.

I am gonna try to set up more php version on another test machine and do some tests and see.

Btw this was the first line (not working): &lt;?php require_once('ScriptLibrary/incSmartMailer.php'); ?&gt;, removed the "" and worked.

Hi Federico ,

Yes, some strange characters are not able to be seen with Dreamweaver or NotePad. I tend to use Eclipse PHP Plugin to review my code for these.
