The fact that your PHP code is inside the head of the document is
causing the problem. *No* output must be sent to the browser before a
call to the PHP header() function.

Dreamweaver will not automatically place that code inside the head. It's
something you must have done yourself. If you understand PHP code, you
need to cut and paste it above the DOCTYPE. If you don't understand PHP
code, you would be better off trying to create the page from the start
again.

Great. Glad you didn't need to start from scratch.
