Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by

Question

I'm currently using a tutorial for CodeIgniter otherwise I had a message error:

Message: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /Users/lionel/Documents/php/CodeIgniter-3.0.0/application/config/config.php:2)

Filename: core/Common.php

Line Number: 569

Backtrace:

File: /Users/lionel/Documents/php/CodeIgniter-3.0.0/index.php
Line: 292
Function: require_once

I've been looking on google and I tried some solution which didn't work like check if there is not a space before the first ) and so on. This is my code

Forum:

<?php
    class Forum
    {
        public function forum()
        {
            $data = array();
            $this->load->library('alphabet');
            $this->load->view('accueil', $data);
        }
    }

Alphabet:

<?php
    class Alphabet
    {
        private $lettres = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz';
        public function __construct()
        {

        }
        public function recuperer_alphabet()
        {
            return $this->lettres;
        }
        public function supprimer_alphabet()
        {
            $this->lettres = '';
        }
        public function changer_alphabet($lettres)
        {
            if (is_string($lettres) AND !empty($lettres))
            {
                $this->lettres = $lettres;
                return true;
            }
            else
            {
                return false;
            }
        }
    }

Accueil:

<?php
    class Accueil
    {
        public function accueil()
        {
            $data = array();
            $this->load->library('alphabet');
            $data['alphabet'] = $this->alphabet->recuperer_alphabet();
            $this->load->view('accueil', $data);
        }
    }

Thank's

goto config.php file and just add ob_start(); method it will work...please try this..

go to application/config/config.php anf my config file is --

ob_start();

Answer 2

Just add ob_start(); on your config.php after "defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');" line!

Works magic.
