I'm getting a duplicate header error

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/03/12651803/html/techbuyer/inc/header.php:47) in /home/content/03/12651803/html/techbuyer/inc/offer.php on line 48

Anyone know how to fix the above error?

Check if you have any whitespace before or after your php opening/closing tags

<?php ?>

in your header.php include file.

Whitespace can cause a premature output in PHP which can cause the above error.

I encountered the same issue and the solution over at the post below fixed it for me. I'm running MAMP locally and Output Buffering is not enabled by default so the function obstart() needs to be run for the warning to disappear.
