[SOLVED] Help with Header error

[limitphp]

I just uploaded my website to my live server.

The address is www.greckle.com

Its giving me the error:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/greckle0/public_html/connGreckle.php:11) in /home/greckle0/public_html/index.php on line 26

 

on line 26 I have this:

setcookie("time",$time, 0);

 

It works perfectly fine on the test server on wamp server 5.2.6

 

I did notice on my live server with lunarpages, it said php 4. something.....it wasn't version 5.

 

Does anyone know why I'm getting this error?

Hi

 

Have you tried putting in an "if" statement in your code to see if the cookie has been set already?

 

If you submit your php code on here I can have a look for you.

That error means that you had some sort of output before the call to setcookie().  No output at all is permitted.

Yes.  I do check for a cookie.  Here's the whole section:

//******************	HANDLE TIME	********************
//Get Existing time Value
if($_GET['time'])
  $time = $_GET['time'];
elseif($_COOKIE['time'])
  $time = $_COOKIE['time'];
//Validate
if(empty($time) || !is_numeric($time) || $time>365){
  $time = 7;
}
//Set Cookie for next time
setcookie("time",$time, 0);   //LINE 26
//***********************************************

Whats wierd is, it works perfectly fine on wamp server.

That error means that you had some sort of output before the call to setcookie().  No output at all is permitted.

 

Here's the code up to that point:

<?php 
include("connGreckle.php"); //LINE 1
$mode = $_POST['mode'];
$logout = $_GET['logout'];
$rememberMe = $_POST['remember'];	
$username = check_input($_POST['username']);
$password = check_input($_POST['password']);
$loginExist = 0;
$loginFailed = 0;
$genreList = "'Alternatve','Rock','Punk','Indie','Folk','Jazz','Blues','Reggae','RB','Pop','Country','Christian','Latin','Techno','Hip-Hop','World','Vocal','New Age'";

$allRock = $_POST['allrock'];
$allGenres = $_POST['allGenres'];

//********	HANDLE TIME	****************************
//Get Existing time Value
if($_GET['time'])
  $time = $_GET['time'];
elseif($_COOKIE['time'])
  $time = $_COOKIE['time'];
//Validate
if(empty($time) || !is_numeric($time) || $time>365){
  $time = 7;
}
//Set Cookie for next time
setcookie("time",$time, 0); //LINE 26

 

I don't think there is any output before that cookie call?.......

First of all, line 1 in that script is <?php.  PHP's line numbers correlate exactly to a line in the file, not in the PHP tags.  Second of all, with my telepathy and mind-numbingly incredible genius, I deduce that you have your editor set to save files in UTF-8.  Look for an editor setting involving the UTF-8 BOM (byte order mark).

ok, now the error is gone.  In the connGreckle.php file I had some comments.

I took them out, and now it works.

huh.......

I'm sorry...you are correct.....

the <?php was line 1.

 

my mistake...I told you guys wrong.....sorry.

My incredibly mind-numbing genius was on break when I made that post though.  I didn't read the orig. error closely enough.  It said the output was in connGreckle.php on line 11.  Sorry. xD

So, comments are considered output....

Edit: Wrote this before you made your last post DW.

 

From the error message -

 

output started at /home/greckle0/public_html/connGreckle.php:11 (line 11)

 

Please read error messages. Sometimes they tell you not only what the problem is but where it is being caused at.

No, they're not.  You must have not commented properly. o_O  Unless it was an HTML comment, lol.  THOSE are considered output.

 

@PF:  No problem.

Yeah...they were probably html comments.  I don't remember.  They are gone now anyway. : )

I wonder why it worked perfectly on wamp server, though?
