I think I found a solution. I researched the “Cannot modify header information” error and found a suggestion to look for statements that could send user output before the header statement.
So in the /system/core/Exceptions.php file I changed this:
function show_php_error($severity, $message, $filepath, $line)
{
$severity = ( ! isset($this->levels[$severity])) ? $severity : $this->levels[$severity];
$filepath = str_replace("\\", "/", $filepath);
// For safety reasons we do not show the full file path
if (FALSE !== strpos($filepath, '/'))
{
$x = explode('/', $filepath);
$filepath = $x[count($x)-2].'/'.end($x);
}
if (ob_get_level() > $this->ob_level + 1)
{
ob_end_flush();
}
ob_start();
include(APPPATH.'errors/error_php.php');
$buffer = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
echo $buffer;
}
to this:
function show_php_error($severity, $message, $filepath, $line)
{
$severity = ( ! isset($this->levels[$severity])) ? $severity : $this->levels[$severity];
$filepath = str_replace("\\", "/", $filepath);
// For safety reasons we do not show the full file path
if (FALSE !== strpos($filepath, '/'))
{
$x = explode('/', $filepath);
$filepath = $x[count($x)-2].'/'.end($x);
}
if (ob_get_level() > $this->ob_level + 1)
{
ob_end_flush();
}
ob_start();
echo $buffer;
include(APPPATH.'errors/error_php.php');
$buffer = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
}
(Note the higher placement of ‘echo $buffer;’ in the last block of code.)
This has taken care of all the errors I was getting. I’m just wondering if that modification will result in any unwanted consequences down the road?
