msaz87 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Your code is outputting a value before it reaches the header, which causes it to fail. Identify what it's spitting out beforehand.

Pikachu2000 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 You're sending output to the browser with echo 'Connected successfully'; Remove it and try it again.

nander Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 Pikachu2000 tried that and I get the same error? I think it has something to do with the second header because I change the file of the second header and it takes me to that page.

Drummin Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Might I suggest $sql = "SELECT `auth_users`,`f_name`,`l_name` FROM auth_users LIMIT 0, 30"; Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/252712-header-error/#findComment-1296007 Share on other sites More sharing options...
