why this?

questions "headers sent" or "calling member of non-object" pop on stack overflow. root cause of questions same. answers questions typically repeat them , show op line change in his/her particular case. these answers not add value site because apply op's particular code. other users having same error can not read solution out of because localized. sad, because once understood root cause, fixing error trivial. hence, list tries explain solution in general way apply.

what should here?

warning: cannot modify header information - headers sent

happens when script tries send http header client there output before, resulted in headers sent client.

this e_warning , not stop script.

a typical example template file this:

<html>     <?php session_start(); ?>     <head><title>my page</title> </html> ... 

the session_start() function try send headers session cookie client. php sent headers when wrote <html> element output stream. you'd have move session_start() top.

you can solve going through lines before code triggering warning , check outputs. move header sending code before code.

an overlooked output new lines after php's closing ?>. considered standard practice omit ?> when last thing in file. likewise, common cause warning when opening <?php has empty space, line, or invisible character before it, causing webserver send headers , whitespace/newline when php starts parsing won't able submit header.

if file has more 1 <?php ... ?> code block in it, should not have spaces in between them. (note: might have multiple blocks if had code automatically constructed)

also make sure don't have byte order marks in code, example when encoding of script utf-8 bom.
