Question

I modified a very simple php page on my server:

<?php
   header("Location:http://www.google.com");
?>

and it stopped to work. I get as result a blank page (Without source in it).

I modified back to the previous url.. and it still doesn’t work.

What’s going on ?

Thanks

<?php <-- check for whitespace before this (by popular demand)
   error_reporting(E_ALL); // report all error messages
   header("Location: http://www.google.com"); // leave a space between name and value
?> <-- remove this, or check for whitespace after it

My thinking is, there’s a renegade whitespace character after your final closing tag or before the opening one.
