Fix the problem.

Somewhere you are outputting something - as others have indicated, you
probably have something outside the <?php ... ?> in your included file.

Even white space will do it.

Turn on your errors and display them. That will show you where the
output was initiated. On a development system, your php.ini file should
always have:

error_reporting=E_ALL
display_errors=on
