How To Fix That Nasty Error About Headers Not Sent (yuck)

You know the one - maybe you have seen it, maybe you haven’t.  If you haven’t yet, then i hope you never do….It looks something similar to this:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at http://………….)

Nasty huh?  That’s all you get on an otherwise blank page.  Well, luckily it’s a really simple fix.  PHP sometimes has a hissy fit at whitespace.  What does that mean, you ask?  Well, chances are you were editing some code and accidentally (whether you knew it or not) left a ’space’ or ‘carriage return’ where it shouldn’t be - namely after the final PHP tag i.e. ?> at the very end of the file.  I have had this several times after editing the wp-config.php file in Dreamweaver.

Make sure that there are no spaces or carriage returns after that final tag - re-upload the file in question and it’s back to normal - no more ugly errors.
