I don't understand the problem I am having.. I am getting the dreaded

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /usr/lib/php/inc_test.inc:2) in /our/web/dir/index.php on line 15

... blah blah blah message. I know what the problem is, but I don't. Let me explain.

The following code works WITHOUT the include(); Once the include is ... well .. included, I get the warning. I know my include works, I have tested it in other scipts. the <?php is all the way at the top like it should be with no trailing spaces etc.

So now that I know that my include is causing this error, I need to know what about my include is so negative. In other words "why?".

[b]index.php -->[/b]
<?php 
session_start();
include('inc_test.inc');
if (!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])) 
{
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"Advertisers\"');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
echo 'Authorization Required.';
exit;
} 
else if (isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])) 
{
 if (($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']!= "admin") ¦¦ ($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']!= $pass)) [b]// Line 15 [/b]
 {
 header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Advertisers"');
 header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
 echo 'Authorization Required.';
 exit;
 } 
 }
?>
[b]inc_test.inc -->[/b]
<?php
$MyArray[] = "element1";
$MyArray[] = "element2";
$MyArray[] = "element3";
$MyArray[] = "element4";
print "Testing ... I have been included!";
?>

Thanks ...

Should have known that was going to happen! That I was going to figure it out right after I was done posting!

My "test" statement in the include was causing it.. print statement before the cookie ... sheesh!

often just laying it out for other people to see helps us organize it and figure it out

hehe, posting is the best medicine ;)
