Content-Type header

Well, after a longer-than-it-should-have-been bout with PHP3-4
Migration, everything works except one thing...

At the top of all PHP documents...I get the text:

Content-Type:

That's significantly reduced from what it was (X-powered-by PHP4...yadda
yadda yadda) by editing the php.ini file. But for the life of me, I
can't get that last thing to go away. My inkling is that somehow I
managed to download a beta version of 4.0 (used the front page oh
php.net to get the windows binaries so I don't know...) and that this
just occurs in the beta.

So where you can edit most of the stuff out, is in the line beginning
with:

; As of 4.0b4, PHP always outputs a character encoding by default in
; the Content-type: header. To disable sending of the charset, simply
; set it to be empty.
; PHP's built-in default is text/html
default_mimetype =;
default_charset =;

You see that I've set the default types to, well, nothing. I've REMed
them out too, but that just makes the default "Content-type: text/html"
spring up instead.

Thanks for any help...

You got to REM all your old PHP3 modules loading in php.ini, like
extension=php3_dbm.dll

Those were absolutely painless lines: you see the Content-type headers just
because when starting to process your file and before outputing any headers like
Content-type and X-Powered-By PHP4 outputs an error message about the fact it
can't load old extension file from your php.ini.
So this message is considered by a browser as a header, and real headers
following that message are considered a beginning of an html document.
You got to download new libraries from http://download.swwwing.com/php4/modules

Anyway when you got the headers in place of html, it means that you have an
error message in place of headers.

Try to run the script from command line, type the following in your php-doc-dir:
php.exe test.php > aaa.txt
and watch the output. You got to see the error onscreen or in the file aaa.txt.
If not, the error is generated by Apache. This should not be the case. If it is,
we got to think thoroughly.
