* Hi Guys.
* Have an issue with a wordpress installation, on a contact form page.
* When a user fills out a form at
[http://leftofftherocks.com/contact-us](http://leftofftherocks.com/contact-us)
and clicks submit.
* They get this error:
* Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started
at /home/lotr/public_html/wp-content/themes/lotr/contact.php:3) in /home/lotr/
public_html/wp-content/themes/lotr/header.php on line 42
* The form does come through to the email. But obviously i would like to remove
this error.
* Here is the header.php code.
* ```
<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> <?php wp_title(); ?>
etc
```
* line 42 being
* `setcookie("seeMeOnce", $ret);`
* Any suggestions?
* I have looked for whitespace, i have ob start in my header aswell.

* The message refers to themes lotr/contact.php line 3. It looks like on the third
line of code there is an extra space between the ending ) }
* BTW, if you are going to paste more than 10 line of code please use [http://www.pastebin.com](http://www.pastebin.com)
