Headers already sent

I added a server validation to my form and now the server is throwing these error messages:

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/customel/public_html/header.php:6) in /home/customel/public_html/webassist/form_validations/wavt_validatedform_php.php on line 3

I have made sure that in Dreamweaver that I have set links relative to the document.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I've seen the solution

the headers already sent error occurs when there is some sort of output on the page before the header() or session_start() functions are used.

if you look closely at the error, this section:
output started at /home/customel/public_html/header.php:6

is reporting that the output is at line 6 of the header.php. Ussusally you will find the problem on the previous line though.

In most cases, the problem is caused by a blank space between a closing php tag and the next opening tag:

?>



<?php

if you are not able to spot the problem, send a copy of your page in a zip archive.

I could not find an error anywhere in the header.php on line six. It is a meta tag and the previous line is the title of the page.

I have included a zip of the files used for the page. The form itself is referForm.php Thanks for your help.

yeah, the problem is that you are using server side includes.

the main page:
refer.php

attaches the referForm.php at line 17 which after a bunch of html tags

the referForm page has the universal email code on it, because this code is now after the html tags from the refer.php page at run time, you will get this error message.

you cannot use server behaviors like Universal Email in server side included pages like this.

How do I not use server side includes? I don't remember seeing an option? This may be due to my ignorance of SuperSuite.

Thanks again for your help.

by creating your pages not to use server side includes.


you are the one crating the page structure that includes the referForm.php page on the refer.php page.

Why do I not get any errors on my test site with the exact same code?

your test site may not have error reporting turned on.
