It's definitely on your end:
http://www.orourke.ca/test.php
I verified your issue on your server and could not reproduce it on mine.
Our phpinfo data looks the same.
Here's a hunch. Try calling output buffering at the top of your page:
ob_start();
I have this on my site to allow for mid-page redirects. I have no idea
if this is the cause. Just an idea. Perhaps an Apache 2 issue? Can
any one else confirm this on Apache 2 / PHP 4.3.10?
