Please help with problem

[adamjnz]

I am having a 'Cannot modify header information - headers already sent' problem. I have read the other posts about the cause being trying to send header information AFTER the HTML starts.


I have checked my code and the line it is erroring on is BEFORE the HTML starts. Any idea what would cause this?

  $logoutAction .="&". htmlentities($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
}

  //to fully log out a visitor we need to clear the session varialbles

If your code is spitting out another error that counts as html too. Also, why are you initializing the session twice?

Didn't know I was

It means if your code has an error and complains about it to the browser, it is sending headers. Also, if you look at your code you have session_start() twice...remove the second one and that will probably solve your problem.

Still get same error

[adamjnz]

Solved now. I copied and pasted my code out of the PHP file and pasted it back in bit by bit to try and find the errors. But once it was all pasted back in it worked fine.
