You cannot redirect with `header()` if _any_ output was already made. — Adrenaxus, Mar 21 '13 at 14:40
Try to see if you have extra spaces in the end of the file after the closing tag ?> if it doesn't help try to remove closing tag all together. — Adidi, Mar 21 '13 at 14:40
By the way, this is not going to work: `header("location:userinfo.php?x=$msg");` when `$msg` can contain any kind of character. You would need to change that (everywhere...) to something like: `header( "location:userinfo.php?x=" . urlencode($msg) );` — jeroen, Mar 21 '13 at 14:52

Have a look at this topic. Wordpress - Error: headers already sent

The reason this error occurs is when you output anything before the call to the header() function.

You can only set header befor a single character sent to browser. Use javascript redirection instead.
