hy!
I have problem with the function header. I think is because the php version, because I am testing in home server by using php 4.3, but when i upload for the server that are using php 4.0.6 the headers don’t work ☹
```php
header("Location:index.php?accao=login_error");
```
Anda the error:
```php
Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/html/apie/klog/admin/teste.php:8) in /var/www/html/apie/klog/admin/teste.php on line 9
```
Help me please :thumb:

hey, if you see this could you post the code you are using anyway? Just so we can figure out why it wasn’t working for future reference?

print (“Error”);
header(“Location:index.php?accao=login\_error”);
The conclusion for this problem is that in version 4.0.6, if we have a printf before a header, it get error, but in others versions not…
What i did, was clear the printf’s before headears and it works good… maybe isn’t that the real problem but it works without print 😛

might be a problem with that version yea.
Did you have any HTML placed before the header()? cuz yo ucan’t do that.
also, for the print function, there is no need for the ()
just type
```php
print "Error";
```

well with the newer version you can put $\_POST[] and $\_GET[] instead of $HTTP\_GET\_VARS[]
or you can just turn global variables on…
