headers already sent question....

Report · Feb 12, 2008

I can usually look at pages that throw this error and know immediately why,
but I am getting one on a page like this -

<?php ini_set('display_errors', '1'); ?>
<?php require_once('Connections/connStaffMonkey.php'); ?>
<?php require_once('lib/MCAPI.class.php'); ?>
<?php

if (!isset($_SESSION)) {
session_start();
}

and the session_start() line is the one that is mentioned in the error.

Why would that trigger this error?

Hey Murray,

I assume that you're getting that error on that line because there is likely some white space outside of the <?php ?> tags you have shown above (or in one of your includes). When I run into this issue, I turn on invisible characters:
View -> Code View Options -> Invisible characters
I then look for tab characters ( right pointing chevrons) and spaces ("floating dots") outside of the php delimiters in your main file first and then in your includes.

I didn't know what MCAPI.class.php is, and did a quick Google search and I ran into this page:
http://www.mailchimp.com/admin/api/MCAPI.class.phps

I then copy and pasted that code into DW with invisible characters turned on and it seems that after the closing ?> at the bottom of the file there is a space character (floating dot). So if this is the source page for your include file, then I'd start looking at that file first.

HTH

Awesome, Danilo - that was exactly it. I'll let them know that this is a
problem. It sure fixed mine, and I learned something in the process!

Thanks, again!

Glad it was easy to work out, Murray. Talk to you soon.
