Error Fix for "Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent..."

**Mr. Tech** · 3rd October 2005, 02:15 PM

Have you ever got this error? This normally happens when you try set a cookie in amoungst the HTML code...

Code:

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/public_html/connect.php:1) in /home/public_html/setcookies.php on line 9

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/public_html/connect.php:1) in /home/public_html/setcookies.php on line 10

To fix this, simply add just after the very first <?php tag:

PHP Code:


		
			
ob_start();

And just before the very last ?> tag add:

PHP Code:


		
			
ob_end_flush();

That will fix your error.

That's a good fix! I used to have to move all the cookie and ehader code above my HTML. Thanks for that !!!
