chris,

i'd already asked/explained the error. to reiterate, the error i'm getting
is the error that's generated when you try to use the php 'header' function,
and it throws a warning/error regarding 'headers already being sent...'

the soln appears to be to use the php buffering functions, as this is
supposed to stop output from being generated/posted, allowing the app to
'buffer' the output until the page is displayed.

i've tried to use an 'ob_start()' as the very 1st line in the index.php page
that's being displayed. i've also tried to insert the 'ob_start()' in a
number of various places within the app with no change...

my question was how/what could i possibly do, short of using the javascript
soln, which seems to work...

i also stated that i could readily provide the code that i'm creating if
anyone wanted to take an actual look. and as i also stated, yeah, it
could/should be cleaned up, but for now, it's a test app...


-bruce

You need to ask a question if you want to receive an answer. If your
question really is whether there is anyone you can talk to, then the
answer is yes. There are quite a few people on this list who know a
great deal about the topics you mention.

(You might want to start by clarifying the reference to "the same error.")
