I know this is a recurring problem that has been addressed here
before, but even after reading all that has gone before, I am still
stumped.

I have a form that is designed to send data to a PHP page where is is
to be validated then read into a MySQL table. Once that is done, the
form is to send the user either back to the originating page, or to a
logout page.

I have several versions of this setup on my site that work well, so
why should it not work on one page?

I have checked for blanks and extra characters before and after <?php
and ?> tags. there are none.

I have POSTed to a page with _only_ the following code: (Again- there
are no blanks or other characters either before or after.)

<?php
header("location:www.foo.org/subdir/enterStuff.php");
?>

It still comes back with:
"Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by
(output started at /var/www/foo.org/html/subdir/postStuff.php:1) in /
var/www/foo.org/html/Events/postStuff.php on line 2."

I have stripped the code (a combination of php and javascript) in the
orginating file of all extraneous stuff. Still not getting anywhere.
I tried adding ob_start() and ob_end_flush() , still no joy.

If I leave out the "header()" and "exit()" lines, the page processes
and stores the information correctly and without any reported errors.

I think that covers all the advise I've seen here, so my question is:
Does anyone know what else can cause this problem?
