Warning: Cannot add header information

Hi all,

My poll is working, but after having done a vote there is always the following error on top of the page.

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/h/hela.li/public_html/index.php:2) in /home/h/hela.li/public_html/poll/poll_cookie.php on line 21

In my homepage the respective code looks like this:

<?php
/* Include this before your html code */
include_once "/home/h/hela.li/public_html/poll/poll_cookie.php";
?>

After having read similar problems here in the forum, I guess my problem has to do with the real path. My provider/hoster says the following:

Der Pfad setzt sich folgendermassen zusammen:

/home/i/ihrdomain.ch/public_html/

Das Zeichen nach /home/ (im Beispiel ein i) steht für das 1. Zeichen Ihres Domainnamens. Wenn Ihr Domain also 4webmaster.ch hiesse, dann wäre es eine 4.

Thanks for your hints

hi,
Make sure there are no spaces before the <?php
it has to be the first line of code.before your <html>

Yep, he's right PHP is very particular about syntax and white spaces. If there are any before it the script will not work. Its not a leanient as html is where you you can get away with odd mistake.
