<?php
if (!isset($_COOKIE['user']))
{
header('Location: login.php');
die;
}
?>

When I tested it on my PC (running WampServer 5), it worked out.
But now hosted on Stoli, it says:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/scorch94/public_html/gsm/index.php:2) in /home/scorch94/public_html/gsm/index.php on line 5

Any help?
Edit:
Sorry for bumping, but I really need an answer :)

Re: Header not working

from what i'm reading on it, that must be at the top of the file, even before <html>, it has to process before ANY html is sent to the browser, otherwise that error will occur. Then, someone else said:

Here's how header() works

You can put header("Location: whateverpage.php"); anywhere you want. Top/bottom of script doesnt matter. What is important is to put exit(); right after. The reason being that all your doing with the header call is changing the headers, the script wants to finnish before it uses those new headers. So if you stop the script then you will redirect the page.

Also, if you tried echoing or printing anything to the screen before header(), then it wont work because you're basiclly trying to say you want a page returned to the user yet you also want to go to another page. When you echo, you are saying that the current heading is what you want. So thats why when you change the heading later it says "Cant change header"

If you're editing header information, that particular block of PHP MUST start on the first line of the file. For example, something like...
HTML: 
<?php
if (!isset($_COOKIE['user']))
{
	header('Location: login.php');
	die;
}
?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
... etc
... would work.

Now I realized that cPanel for some reason put some weird characters before the <?php tag. I removed them, and it all works now :)

Sorry for posting this useless thread :(

Make sure nothing -- absolutely nothing -- happens before the <?php tag. The "usual suspect" is a Byte Order Mark (BOM) in a file stored as unicode (utf-8). Your text editor/IDE should allow you to drop the BOM.

@npicstore82: Don't threadjack. Don't revive long dead threads (this one is 3 3/4 years old). It's bad netiquette.
