newbie:(( unable to redirect.

[psteja2000]

I am given an task to convert coldfusion application to php.

I get this error always don't know y..

I include a file 'sqldbcon.php' which has just two lines of php code, to connect to database.
<?php
$con=mysql_connect("","username","");
$DB=mysql_select_db("dbname",$con);
?>

I include this in another file A.php

somewhere in A.php I say, header("location: blah blah")

It failes to redirect saying header information already sent in sqldbcon.php

???????

can anyone please help?

regards,
Teja

The use of the header() function must be invoked before your script outputs anything.

Look for print or echo statements in your code.
Look for error output from your code.
Look for blank lines that appear outside of <?php ?> tags.

sleipnir214,

Thank you very very much. it is the stray spaces and blank lines that is causing hte trouble. I never knew that would make a difference...
