The error message tells you that the file english.php is outputting something (at line 1) too early. Check for code left by a hacker at the beginning of that file. If it looks clean, see if there are any blanks, spaces, tabs, or other stuff before the opening <?php. Remove anythng found. Note: if you work in UTF-8, make sure your editor does not save a "Byte Order Mark" in the file.

Thank you everyone for your responses.

Does this mean my shop was hacked or was it because i saved in UTF-8 format with the BOM? How would I fix this problem and prevent this from happening again? I am new to os commerce and was not sure if I needed to purchase some extra security measures like site lock or purchase an SSL (even though my cc transactions are processed through paypal) Thank you for your response in advance.

No - not hacked.

 

Take Mr Phil's advice - If you use UTF-8 save with no BOM.

I am currently editing my code using a code editor provided by my host, there are many different formats which i can choose from such as ansi_x3.110-1983. Is that okay to use? How am I able to fix this current problem because I cannot find any empty spaces in the front of the php file

[germ]

The file has the BOM at the top which you can't see in most editors, but my contribution clearly shows.

 

I'm not "up" on all the formats.

 

You need one with no BOM.

Dear Jim,

 

Thank you for your prompt response I really appreciate your help. I will try to find a way to fix this problem. If it does not work should I import a fresh copy of the english.php file?

[MrPhil]

See if your editor has a setting to "save without Byte Order Mark". Any decent editor should. If not, you'll either have to find an editor that ignores BOMs, or change your system encoding from UTF-8 to, say, Latin-1 or Windows-1252. Either way you should see the BOM in the editor and can remove it.

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /*******/*******/public_html/includes/languages/english.php:1)

 

First : do not display your full path you might face some hacking problems.

 

Now coming to your issue:

This generally happens if some special characters are getting appended to your starting <?php tag.

This will happen if you are using some editors that are not meant for PHP related developement.

 

So you need use proper editor and remove these special character by going to that file and deleting <? and special char(invisble) and then placing back <?php tag

for me the solution was emptying the sessions table.

My problem occurred when I imported a new database on my local machine (XAMPP 1.7)

after this I got the

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /*******/*******/public_html/includes/admin/languages/english.php:1)

after logging in to the admin

cleaning the sessions table did the trick
