i have a problem just like you.

use this

if ($pass != $info['password']) 
{ ?>
<script language="javascript">location.replace("login.php"); </script>
<?
}

and use this too

else
//if the cookie does not exist, they are taken to the login screen
{ 
?>
    <script language="javascript">location.replace("login.php"); </script>
<?
}

The "headers already sent" error is usually caused by having white space before or after the opening and closing PHP tags (<?php . . . ?>).

Have you recently edited any files?

and alsu use top of page <?php ob_start(); ?> it remove all header error from form

thanks to jenif that worked perfectly. I just find this forum thread by googing.. It is very helpful. This solution is still work

Thanks a lot jenif...May Allah give your reward

Hi.
I am joining this community just to say thanks to JeniF, after 3 years, that answer is still helping people :)
Thanks all.

Just found your site and was having days of problems with a script I bought - a bit of bravery (I so am not technical) and I altered the script like you said and BINGO!!!! thank you so much. This will be my first port of call for any kinds of these problems.

thanks alot for JeniF, this problem has caused me alot of headache the whole day

If you are getting error like "Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /path/file.php:1)" it means you've got some output before your header() call or starting a session. *No* output can be sent. that includes whitespace (outside of <?php and ?>) and any (X)HTML. You can also use output buffering

I was using cake-php and faced the same old problem.
None file have the blank-space/line and the issue was showing in some core files of cake-php (which n00bs like me shouldn't touch :P)
Finally this solved my issue

This is my code

<?php
header("Location: google.ru");
?>

<html>
<head>
<title>Chat</title>

</head>

<body>

<?
if($_POST["chat_write"] != "") 
{
    $chattext = $_POST["chat_write"];
    $chatfile = fopen("chater.txt", "a+b") or die("Error");
    fwrite($chatfile, "$chattext\r\n");
    fflush($chatfile);

</form> 

</body>
</html>

Thanks Jenif The output buffer tags <? ob_start(); ?> before the php opening tag and <? ob_flush(); ?> after the php closing tag works perfectly. it eliminates the white spaces introduced by most editors. The white spaces before and after the php opening and closing tags are the culprits for this error.

for example:

<? ob_start(); ?>
            <?php
            $_SERVER[PHP_AUTH_USER] = htmlentities($_POST['uname']);
            $_SERVER[PHP_AUTH_PW] = htmlentities($_POST['upass']);
            // Connect to the MySQL database
                mysql_pconnect("localhost","root","")
                or die("Can't connect to database server!");
                mysql_select_db("airline_db")
                or die("Can't select database!");
                // Create and execute the selection query
                $query = "SELECT username, pswd FROM logins
                WHERE username='$_SERVER[PHP_AUTH_USER]' AND
                pswd='$_SERVER[PHP_AUTH_PW]' ";
                $result = mysql_query($query);
                // If nothing was found, reprompt the user for the login information
                if (mysql_num_rows($result) == 0) {
                echo "Invalid User";
                } else {
                    header("location: bookflight.html");
                    exit();
                  }
                 ?>
<? ob_flush(); ?>

Hi HM0729, enclose your php code blocks inbetween <? ob_start(); ?>
and <? ob_flush(); ?> Should work fine. Cheers

perhaps a better solution
