使用PHP脚本将文章上传到Joomla 3.6

Question

For the past years we have used a local application that uploads articles to our Joomla homepage (Using a PHP Script). After the latest update to Joomla 3.6 (Used to be 3.5) that application no longer works. The following error occurs:

Error displaying the error page: Application Instantiation Error: Failed to start the session because headers have already been sent by "/var/www/DOMAIN/htdocs/FOLDER/execute.php" at line 1.

There used to be an "application.php" file inside ./htdocs/FOLDER/administrator/includes/ and after the update the file disappeared. It looks like the script can't create an instance of the application. I have already tried to repair the Database using the Back End option, but that didn't solve the problem.

Update: The above error occurs at:

$mainframe = JFactory::getApplication('administrator'); 

Help is much appreciated!

Answer 1

Some text is being output by "/var/www/DOMAIN/htdocs/FOLDER/execute.php", probably white space at line one. Check nothing is output before sending any headers.

Not a great resolution but you could also clean the output buffer before the header fn. Have a read of ob_clean()
