The reason this can happen is if you are including a file that
looks like this:
<?php
// content of includ file
?>
EOF
To find out where this is, turn error_reporting(E_ALL); and
ini_set('display_errors', true); you'll get a message telling you
that output was sent before the headers, and on what line the
output started on.
