Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by FIX (See related posts)

Buffers output and eliminates problem with spaces/line breaks at the beginning/end of files. Make sure to place ob_start(); before header(); is called.
<?php
ob_start();

header("Location: somepage.php"); //Redirect

ob_end_flush();
exit;
?>

That's a cool trick. I'm not sure if I'll ever have to use it, but thanks :)

Thats not a fix, its a hacky patch. If you need to do this, your logic flow in inherently flawed, or your code is mal-formed (in the case of erroneous spaces).

Actually fixing it is a better trick.

Yes, this is a quick fix which can be used until you can take the time to hunt down errant spaces or line breaks. It can work in an emergency situation.
