I get the following message when trying to run my script:
"Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output
started at /var/www/html/newcustomer.php:23) in
/var/www/html/newcustomer.php on line 332"
....newcustomer.php:23 is where my script begins, at line 23.
before that line, only comments.
The script recives data from a form, checks if the customer exists, if so,
it updates the data otherwise inserts a new customer into the db. Also some
validation is done before writing to the db.
In advance, thanks for your time and advice.

And here's the flow of my script:
<?php
include 'db.inc'
include 'error.inc.
//init error string
$errorString = "";
//clean & trim POSTed values
... ... ...
//validate data
if (empty($formvars["source"]))
$errorString .=
"\n<br>You must suply the name of the source.";
//validate other data
... ... ...
//end of validation
//check if errors exist
if (!empty($errorString))
{
//errors do exist, show them & exit
?>
<html>
<body>
<br>Errors were found.
<br>
<?=$errorString?>
</body>
</html>
<?php
exit;
}
//if all data valid, open connection and load into the db
if (!(connection = @ .....))
die( ... );
if (!mysql_select_db( ... , ... ))
showerror();
//Are the data being updated? Then update the database
if (!empty($cust_id))
{
$query = "UPDATE customer SET " .
"source = \"" . $formvars["source"] . "\", " .
... ... ...
... ... ...
WHERE cust_id =$cust_id";
}
else
//Create query to insert the data
$query = INSERT INTO customer
... ... ...";
//Run the query on the customer table
... ... ...
//Is this an insert?
if (empty($cust_id))
//find the cust_id of the new customer
$cust_id = mysql_insert_id();
//Now redirect the customer to the receipt page
header ("Location: cust_receipt.php?cust_id=$cust_id");
?>

Parts that may interest you:
Remember that header() must be called before any actual output is sent,
either by normal HTML tags, blank lines in a file, or from PHP. It is a
very common error to read code with include(), or require(), functions,
or another file access function, and have spaces or empty lines that
are output before header() is called. The same problem exists when
using a single PHP/HTML file.
Note: HTTP/1.1 requires an absolute URI as argument to Location:
including the scheme, hostname and absolute path, but some clients
accept relative URIs. You can usually use $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'],
$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] and dirname() to make an absolute URI from a
relative one yourself:

FM, you may wish to read Tim's message again. He has indeed re-listed the
errant code above his reply and then explained why it's a problem.
Apologies for repeating Tim's message, but in clear terms - you cannot
output anything before a header command.
not a single space, not an echo, not "<HTML> blah blah </HTML>".
It's that simple. If you must display some html (briefly!) before
redirecting then you should use the refresh meta tag. http://webdesign.about.com/cs/metatags/a/aa080300a.htm

You can't have ANY HTML output before the header call. It could be as
simple as a blank line at the top. Or HTML comments.

You also stated that you had "comments" prior to line 23 but that your
script didn't start until line 23. What was above line 23?

Geoff:
I have from line 1 to line 22 only cpmments eclosed within php markers, i.e.

And what do you think is between line 22 and line 23? :-)

Remove the end and beginning tags on 22 and 23. You have a carriage return
and/or line feed between them and that counts as output, I believe.

Try putting <img src="javascript :location='http://some.domain.com'"> in the
right place. It could help you with redirecting after output is sent

Why would you put comments in a separate block? Combine them into a
single block, it's more efficient in PHP and it also prevents \n from
being sent to the HTTP headers, which is exactly what is happening and
causing your header() function to fail and throw warnings.
