Help please

Hi , my sister has a game and when you click login and go to the authenticate page it says this :

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/thedest1/public_html/hooligans-world.com/mysql.php:8) in /home/thedest1/public_html/hooligans-world.com/authenticate.php on line 45

Does anyone know how to fix this please?

I've been having the same error, thanks for this. :)

The clue is in the error (although I suspect somebody will no doubt contradict me on this):

The key to solving it is to actually read the error/warning message:

Warning: Cannot modify header information

That is telling you that something as amiss, however it's also stating that it is only a warning, so it's not preventing the rest of the page from working as per normal. It's also a pretty clear indication as to the type of problem.

headers already sent by (output started at /home/thedest1/public_html/hooligans-world.com/mysql.php:8)

This is telling you that something has started sending headers from somewhere. Look in the specified file, look for anything before <?php or after ?> including but not limited to spaces, newlines, tabs, random characters etc.

And finally this is telling you at what point the error was noticed.

in /home/thedest1/public_html/hooligans-world.com/authenticate.php on line 45

At a guess, were you to take a close look at this file and line you would see the function session_start()

The fix is to make sure that the mysql.php file has nothing prior to the opening <?php tag, and nothing after the closing ?> tag - ideally get rid of the closing tag, it's redundant.
