Check to make sure absolutely nothing before the header() function is outputing anything. No echos, no prints, no var_dumps, no HTML or even blank lines.

If it's something tangible like an echo or print or something, then putting an exit()/die() function right before the header() function then looking at the HTML source that you get should show you what the offending output is.

But again, if I recall, it can be something as simple as an empty line.

-----------------------------------------
<?php

// This should work because there's no output or white space above header()
header('Location: thanks.php');

?>
-----------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------

<?php

// This should fail (if I recall) because of the blank line that's sent
// before the PHP code block. This is considered output, and can't come before
// any header statements

header('Location: thanks.php');

?>
-----------------------------------------


= = = Original message = = =

when I add that code I can the following error msg when submitting the form.
" *Warning*: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by
(output started at /home/webadmin/dedicated75.virtual.vps-
host.net/html/fortuneInteractive/Consultation_test.php:6<http://host.net/html/fortuneInteractive/Consultation_test.php:6>)
in */home/webadmin/dedicated75.virtual.vps-
host.net/html/fortuneInteractive/Consultation_test.php<http://host.net/html/fortuneInteractive/Consultation_test.php>
* on line *168* "
line 168 is the one with header( 'Location: thanks.php' );
on it.
can anyone explain why this is happening and how to rectify?
TIA
