"unable to add cookies, header already sent" ???

[Mikhailtech]

I'm getting the following error when I try to load a custom php page:


Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home/xxx/public_html/xxx/index.php
Line: 2

On line 2 the only code is an opening <?php tag.

I'm confused ...

I should point out this happens when I'm trying to use a CHDIR function to get into my forum directory so I can use a .php file from there. However, another script/php file I have already does the same thing, so I wonder if it's an issue of duplication?

what did you do to figure it out? please help

Each PHP file has a line like this:

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'xxx');

Just replace xxx with a unique name for each page and it solves the problem, otherwise I'm guessing it assumes you're trying to run the same script twice.
