Cannot send an email...

Hi,

I have build an contact page with a form, but every time I try to complete the form in my localhost it is working, but when I put the site online, I get the following error:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/owesten/domains/odinwesten.nl/public_html/contact.php:1) in /home/owesten/domains/odinwesten.nl/public_html/contact.php on line 44.

I used exactly the same code as in the course "PHP build a simple application" and the tutorials of "Integrating Validation Errors".

I already found it, I accidentally removed one label, so I put that back, and now it is working

Hey Suzanne,

I used to get this message alot when I went for free hosting companys like 000webhost or x10hosting if you are using another hosting company could you please specify.

Try including ob_start(); to the start of the file which is throwing the error.

Think of ob_start() as saying "Start remembering everything that would normally be outputted, but don't quite do anything with it yet.".

Hope this helps!
