Hi, always start by Googling the error message, in this case you'll find there's plenty of information available. If that doesn't help (it will in this case though), post on SO - but make sure it's a specific, technical question. Thanks! — Pekka, Dec 04 '13 at 04:41

It sounds like you may have an extra space at the top of your file (there can be NOTHING before the <?php tag (neither a space or line break).

Edit: Based on your updated code, try to put the PHP code ABOVE the HTML since you cannot have a PHP header() AFTER any output to the browser (HTML counts).
