Checkout Error, Please Help!

[Guest]

Whenever I hit the "Purchase" Icon in my checkout process, I get this error:

 

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/xhelderx/public_html/osCommerce/includes/languages/english.php:329) in /home/xhelderx/public_html/osCommerce/includes/functions/general.php on line 23.

 

Can anyone please help me? I dont know what is going wrong.

 

Thanks!

Sounds to me like some white-space has crept before the opening <?php tag in /includes/languages/english.php

[Guest]

I tried that, no dice. Any other suggestions?

[thiswaynow]

Have you modified osCommerce/includes/languages/english.php?

I didn't read the error carefully enough. It is actually saying that output is being started at line 329 of english.php. What you added something there?

[Guest]

I had someone try to add the MoPics contribution, but I'm not sure if that's the problem.. Any thoughts?

[thiswaynow]

Could you post the code block around line 329?

Without the line numbers, it's hard to be sure, but is line 329 the closing php tag? If so, is there any whitespace after the closing tag? If not, I can't see anything that would cause output in the content you posted.

[Guest]

I dont see any closing PHP tags around those lines.. is there anything else it could be? Here's the Error one more time:

 

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/xhelderx/public_html/osCommerce/includes/functions/general.php:1154) in /home/xhelderx/public_html/osCommerce/includes/functions/general.php on line 23

[Guest]

Can anyone help me with this? I'm lost and need to fix this error to go Live with my site. Thanks.

[Guest]

I would reload all the files that are giving the error. It seems that they have characters that php does not recognize in them. This usually occurs as a result of a faulty editor. For example, the one in the admin section.

 

Good luck,

Matt

[Guest]

Wont I lose anything though if I reload all those files?

[Guest]

You would lose any changes you made to those files. However, I haven't heard of a better way of getting rid of the (invisible) incorrect characters. If you are on a unix server with shell access, you could rename the files, copy the replacements in, run diff on both, and then apply the changes to the new files with an acceptable text editor.

 

If you can't use diff, there are several MS Windows programs that can do the same thing, but I don't know of a good, free one. Of pay products, I believe that the Beyond Compare that people recommend is capable of doing this.

 

Good luck,

Matt
