I've run into a problem:
At the top of each page in my site I have a couple of include files.
They handle simple things, really -- a session_start() in one of them,
as well as a check for a session variable to make sure that the user is
logged in. In another one, I have my database connection parameters.
Yet another include file contains my functions. They are all actually
included into one central include file called "common.inc", and this
file is included at the top of each page in my site.
None of these output any HTML at this point -- they only do
behind-the-scenes PHP work and preparation for the page about to be
displayed below.
Nonetheless, I have a "header('Location: n')" function just under the
include("./common.inc") function, and it refuses to work. The error
message says that the headers have already been sent, at line 109 of my
functions includefile. This in itself is strange, because the last line
of the functions includefile that has any instructions on it is 103, the
next six lines are just empty whitespace.
I would think that my header() function would work, because I haven't
outputted any HTML yet (such as the <html> tag or the DOCTYPE). I
haven't outputted any text at all. But the header() doesn't work,
because it seems to think that the headers have already been sent.
At what point in the HTTP exchange do the "headers" finish being sent?
Is there a timeout, or a certain line, or what? I thought that it was a
blank line, but since I haven't outputted any text, I am not sure how
that's possible.
