Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started a

This is actually a programming error, but a common one.

It means that the script is trying to set a header (ie. setting a cookie, redirection, etc.), but the body output has already been commited. As a header naturally must precede the body, this cannot work and results in an error.

However, there does exist a workaround for this. In your php.ini you can set the following directive:

output_buffering On

Note that this will affect your entire server.

What this does is cache the output of each PHP request until it is complete, and THEN the entire output is sent to the browser. This allows the programmer to set header information whenever he/she wishes. However, this will result in a severe performance hit on a busy server and a much better solution is to simply fix the script in question.
