warning: cannot modify header information - headers sent

happens when script tries send http header client there output before, resulted in headers sent client.

this e_warning , not stop script.

a typical example template file this:

<html>     <?php session_start(); ?>     <head><title>my page</title> </html> ... 

the session_start() function try send headers session cookie client. php sent headers when wrote <html> element output stream. you'd have move session_start() top.

you can solve going through lines before code triggering warning , check outputs. move header sending code before code.

an overlooked output new lines after php's closing ?>. considered standard practice omit ?> when last thing in file. likewise, common cause warning when opening <?php has empty space, line, or invisible character before it, causing webserver send headers , whitespace/newline when php starts parsing won't able submit header.

if file has more 1 <?php ... ?> code block in it, should not have spaces in between them. (note: might have multiple blocks if had code automatically constructed)

also make sure don't have byte order marks in code, example when encoding of script utf-8 bom.
