Hi, dannynez

These kind of errors appear when you use the header function and has already been sending some kind of output to the browser for example this will not work:

echo ' ';
header('Location: index.php');

The problem is that any kind of output used before the header function will cause this kinds of problems.

You could for example try not splitting the PHP code into serveral blocks as you do on line 1, 2, 3, 27 and 28, try to use one complete block.

Or even this error may occure if you are using white-space before <?php & after ?>.
Look for any statements that could send output to the user before this header statement. If you find one or more, find some way to move the header statement before them.

You can actually put the headers wherever you want.

Put ob_start() at the top of your page and then ob_end_flush() after your header()

To dddougal:

Yes this is a way to solve the problem, but it feels a little like going around the problem instead of writing good-practiced code.

virtual('/Connections/conexion.php');

alsso sent the headers
can't you use include or require ?
