Cannot modify header error

Hey guys!

I have the following error and I an not sure why because I thought that we can include the header.php and footer.php? The footer.php is my bottom of the page copyright logo…

This is my footer.php file

Hi there,

There can be many reasons for this error to occur. This StackOverflow topic has most of the common problems listed in its accepted answer: Click me for the gold!

As for you code, most likely the issue lies with HTML before your <?php include_once etc…, try moving your PHP code up to the top of your file. :wink:

Happy bug hunting!

Thanks for the advice but I have also tried to move the code to the bottom and the error still shows up but will go through the stackoverflow issues

You can’t send output to the browser before the code has been processed. So, don’t include html before it should be sent.

Also, if you include a footer at the bottom of the page, it is NOT a page by itself. It is added to the page.
Therefore, you do not include your DOCTYPE, HTML, HEAD, or BODY tags inside it.
These are already put out in your header. Only one of these tags per entire page including all of your files that you have included in your page.

I suggest you right-click on the output of your page and view-source of it to see what your code is actually creating. Any browser lets you view the page once it is rendered so you can see what your PHP code creates. Might help!

OP, You already asked this on another forum and were given the correct responses.
