"headers already sent" madness

Hi all!

How can i get round this. I want to stick an include at the top of my
script for the connection to DB and then somewhere below this process a
form and if all is good execute a redirect using the header() function.
However I get the headers already sent error. So ive had to type in the
connection details on the actual page which isnt something that i want
to keep doing for every page that has a redirect (i like using them a
lot).

Is there some sort of work-around?

Yes. Make sure all your include()-d files do not output *anything* to
the browser, including any whitespace (or any other characters) outside
of <?php ... ?>.
