I have seen this question posted a thousand times, but what I haven't seen is an answer to the following situation. Maybe one already exists?
Somethings I have made sure of:
- There are NO spaces around
<?phpand?>. - There are no echo statements.
- There are no print statements or any other "output data statements"
There is one issue:
The code in question is being "included on a "layout page" which is causing the issue, maybe some one could tell me how to get around that?
So heres the code, I did not write this, I am just maintaining it.
$pagetitle = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
switch ($pagetitle) {
...
case "/locations.php?l=8" :
echo '<title>Mississauga West, Canada Winemaking - Vinbon</title>';
break;
...
}
With in that case statement I have tried to do the following, knowing it probably wouldn't work because of the echo statement.
case "/locations.php?l=8" :
ob_start();
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header("Location: http://www.New-Website.com");
die();
ob_end_flush();
break;
Now I know you guys have stated in some answers not to set an echo above as this could cause issues. I assume ob_start() would clear that up?
As you can See this must be a 301 redirect.
Now this piece of code lies in a file called: inc_meta.php which is then included (not required) in a file called layer01.php.
It causes, when run, the following "Warnings":
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/46/11552446/html/layout/layer01.php:5) in /home/content/46/11552446/html/layout/layer01.php on line 10
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/46/11552446/html/layout/layer01.php:5) in /home/content/46/11552446/html/layout/layer01.php on line 11
Now Line 5 is where we do <? include inc_meta.php ?> and the layer01.php is nothing more then an html file.
Line 10 is a space above the <body> tag and line 11 is the <body> tag.
I cannot use javascript because this must be a 301 redirect for this location. Does any one have any ideas?
Update 1
So I tried removing the echo statement as I figured you guys would state that was the issue
I now get:
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/46/11552446/html/layout/layer01.php:5) in /home/content/46/11552446/html/layout/inc_meta.php on line 51

lines 51 and 52 refer to:
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header("Location: http://www.New-Website.com");
The issue was that in the php/html file I did not know that you had to include this file above the
<DOCTYPE ... >and<html>tags. Once it was included there the issue fixed its self.So in my case:
Instead of what it was:
