natol44 and other readers would be well-advised to ignore the post that I am replying to, and instead focus on some of the other useful advice already given in the thread, like following linked debugging suggestions in a different anonymous-user's post 11139625 (with the links) and soonix's Re^2: Infamous "Premature end of script headers", or trying NetWallah's known-working script from Re: Infamous "Premature end of script headers" -- if you cannot get that known-working script to work, that means there is a setup problem in your server, not an issue with the contents of the script.
