Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by

Php Error

[MarceloPG]

Hi, I have the following error, and need your help please with a sample, the error is the following:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/onewayu/public_html/settings.php:15) in /home/onewayu/public_html/member.php on line 5

and the first lines are bellow

<?php
require "settings.php";
require "lib/mysql.lib";
$r = q("select status, rdate from members where id='$auth' and pswd='$pass'");
if(e($r)) header("Location: login.php");
q("update profiles set ldate='".strtotime(date("d M Y H:i:s"))."' where id='$auth'");

I don't understand if the header is not in the right place or where to put it.

Thanks!
Marcelo

Hi MarceloPG and welcome to WebmasterWorld!

You have something in your settings.php file that is outputing something. Could be just a space that could cause this problem.

Thanks so much Master, I can't believe, I was breaking my head, and it was only a few spaces in the settings. I'm learning little by little.

thanks again!
