If you haven't used, HTTP Response 204 can be very convenient. 204
tells the server to immediately termiante this request. This is
helpful if you want a javascript (or similar) client-side function to
execute a server-side function without refreshing or changing the
current webpage. Great for updating database, setting global
variables, etc.

Maybe that's the problem?  Are you sure you want to send a 204?  What
versions of Apache, PHP and browser are you using?

Also remember that you're not allowed to send any headers after you've
sent anything else.  Is this php file being included from elsewhere?
