The file below (now cut) is not your problem. The problem is in lines 1 through 9 of index.php You see, you *CANNOT* send any data to the browser before calling header() function. Look, it's called a "header" for a reason. It comes at the HEAD (before) *ANY* HTML, GIF, JPEG, or other data. Sample output: Try this: <?php echo 'foo';?> Now, upload that to your web-server, and do like this: telnet yourwebserver.com 80 GET /foo.php HTTP/1.0 Host: yourwebserver.com Hit return a couple times after that Host line. See all that crap? Look at it. See the stuff *BEFORE* the blank line? Those are "headers" See the 'foo' after the blank line? That's the content. What do you think will happen if you try to do: Header: blah, blah, blah Header: blah, blah, blah Header: blah, blah, blah foo Header: blah blah, blah See how that works? You can't do that. That's what you tried to do. Somewhere in index.php, on line 9, actually, you sent CONTENT to the browser. So PHP *had* to send the blank line marking the end of the headers. Then, you went and tried to send some more headers. No can do, buckaroo! The blank line signalling the end of the headers already went out, and PHP can't suck it back in. I dunno what you have in line 9 of index.php, but that's where the problem really is.
