And I also remember a php/xdebug bug, which caused the headers to be sent see http://bugs.xdebug.org/view.php?id=587 and https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50921 Derick fixed it in 5.4 So I would suggest you to double-check that you aren't using xdebug when you experience the problem, and that you don't send out the headers before your code blows up. -- Ferenc Kovács @Tyr43l - http://tyrael.hu
