Headers error

[Gruzin]

Hi guys, I know it sounds dumb, but I can not get rid of this damn header error:

 

<?php
require ('config.php');

if(!isset($_COOKIE['user'])){
$user = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$date = date('m-Y');
$sql = mysql_query("INSERT INTO `aid_counter` (`user`, `date`, `id`) VALUES ('$user', '$date', NULL);");

setcookie("user",$user,time()+2678400); // 1 month
}
?>

 

This is a simple counter script wich I want to include somewhere , but I recieve the following error:

 

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /www/cida.ge/doc/index.php:42) in /www/cida.ge/doc/admin/counter.php on line 9

 

Thanks for any help,

george

1) Make sure you don't have any output in config.php.

2) Make sure you don't have any line-breaks / spaces before the opening "<?php" in this script or in config.php. Also make sure you don't have any line-breaks / spaces after the closing "?>" in config.php

Thanks Orio,

 

here is my config.php:

 

<?php
// database connection
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","XXX","XXX");
if(!$con){
  die('Error:'.mysql_error());
  }
$db = mysql_select_db("cida_ge",$con);
if(!$db){
  die('Could not select database:'.mysql_error());
  }
$u = "http://www.cida.ge"; // edit your domain here, without backslash
?>

headers already sent by (output started at /www/cida.ge/doc/index.php:42

 

What is line 42?

[sspoke]

FUCK I solved it U just gotta remove the linebreak spaces whatever after the ?> in ALLL INCLUDES and REQUIRES

[camdagr81]

you may want to buffer the output. You can do this by adding:

 

<?php ob_start();

 

As your first line of code.

headers already sent by (output started at /www/cida.ge/doc/index.php:42

 

What is line 42?

 

<link href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

 

line 42 is not php...

 

remove the linebreak spaces whatever after the ?> in ALLL INCLUDES and REQUIRES

 

What do u mean by that?

So you're trying to set headers after you've output text to the browser. You have to do your setcookie BEFORE printing that HTML.

OK, I've done it! Thank you very much!
