Tracking the "headers allready sent" error. - El Forum - 12-26-2008

Hi all
I'm getting the "headers allready" sent error online. The weird thing is: I only get it online, it works perfectly fine on localhost, which leads me to believe it's a server config item that's causing this.
I've kept all EllisLab's hint in check: end files with a comment, no closing ?>, no whitespace before and after the <?php or closing comment etc etc...
Is there any way of tracking this error? You can see it here: http://208.64.71.104/handinhand/admin/

Do you get this on all pages, or just the admin dashboard?
I would probably recreate the file, manually type in the first & last line, and copy-paste the rest.

only on the dashboard. I'll try that and report back!

okay weird stuff: I emptied the dashboard controller (admin/ gets rerouted to admin/dashboard, as admin is just a subfolder) and now I get one "headers allready sent error" less. But I still get one and then I get the 404 page not found error. So it happens before my controller, is that possible?
edit: your solution worked. However not when done in Dreamweaver, it only worked after I editted them through winscp.

Okay, this is ridiculous, it's causing problems on all my controllers. Could this have something to do with file encoding or smth like that?

Okay, I'm starting to think it's an encoding issue.
They pop up again with every svn revision of my app. I'm thinking: encoding issue. But how do I solve it? What server setting could be causing this?
Okay, I found what's causing the errors, it's the same as my "whitespace problem" thread.
Code:
ï »¿is added in front of my files and causes the errors.

I think you have the same problem I had a while ago when I somehow added a "byte-order marker" (BOM), it took me forever to figure out but somehow I accedently set my editor to add a BOM to my ASCII files by default.
My current editor (E-Texteditor) displays the ASCII encoding and other settings like this in the lower right corner of the editor, and allows editing it there. So I had it fixed pretty fast after figuring out the existence of a BOM, but I don't know how other editors handle it.

that is indeed a setting in dreamweaver, but it was unchecked. I did change the unicode normalization form to "none" instead off C, let's see what that gives.

For the records (if anyone might ever acounter this same problem): it was indeed the BOM signature. Even though the setting was unchecked in Dreamweaver, it apparently added one, causing all the problems.
I have encountered the same problem with PhpEdit, but there's a setting that allows you to pick UTF8 encoding without the BOM that actually works.
Thanks for setting me in the right direction Jelmer!
