Hi,

Assume I start session and print data stored in session and print some html stuff at the begining of php file. Then I need to use header() to download a file afterwards.

When I do it i get this error:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /var/www.....

I know I have to use ob_start() and flush but cannot apply it. I don't want to cache everything from begining untill end in my page because it is too long.

Would you please anyone show me an example?

thanks in advance

you can use the javascript window.location instead...
<?php echo "<script>window.location='yourpagehere.php'</script>"; ?>

I removed all the HTML codes between ob_start and flush. I echo-ed them. It works now.
