thats your problem, because your including the php script in the middle of the page, when it try to set the headers on the first line of the script it cant because the html before it has already been sent.
delete this line from shoutbox.php

code:

---

header ( 'Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8' );

---

and put it at the top of the html file, like this

code:

---

<?php header ( 'Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8' ); ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/transitional.dtd">

---

removed the tags, still errors

or did u mean something else?

opps i forgot to surround it with <?php ?>

code:

---

<?php header ( 'Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8' ); ?>

---

still errors

just incase if i got it wrong:

code:

---

<?php header ( 'Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8' ); ?>
