 * Hi all
    I installed WordPress yesterday – and it really works fine – only the
   smilies are driving me nuts :(. I wanted to add more smilies – I followed this
   instructions [http://tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/smilies/](http://tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/smilies/)–
   and now every time I wanted to add a new article, there is this “header ist already
   sent” mistake. I know there must be something wrong with my code – but I just
   can’t find it :(. Could anyone help me please – I am really desperate.
 * That’s my code:
 * `
    // if the config file does not provide the smilies array, let's define it 
   here if (!isset($wpsmiliestrans)) { $wpsmiliestrans = array( ' :)' => 'smile.
   gif', ' :D' => 'biggrin.gif', ' :-D' => 'biggrin.gif', ':grins:' => 'biggrin.
   gif', ' :)' => 'smile.gif', ' :-)' => 'smile.gif', ':lol:' => 'lol.gif', ' :('
   => 'traurig.gif', ':sad:' => 'sad.gif', ':kicher:' => 'kicher_huepf.gif', ':wein:'
   => 'wein.gif', ':heul:' => 'heul.gif', ':geknickt:' => 'geknickt.gif', ':neutral:'
   => 'neutral.gif', ':hmpf:' => 'hmpf.gif', ' :-/' => 'hmpf.gif', ':roll:' => '
   augen_roll.gif', ':shock:' => 'shocked.gif', ':grr:' => 'wut.gif', ':tob:' =>'
   wuetend.gif', ':tot:' => 'tot.gif', ':kopfstand:' => 'kopfstand.gif', ':schaem:'
   => 'blush.gif', ':???:' => 'fragezeichen.gif', ' :p' => 'zunge.gif', ':gaehn:'
   => 'gaehn.gif', ':zzz:' => 'zzz.gif', ':herzauge:' => 'herz_auge.gif', ':herz:'
   => 'herz.gif', ':wolke:' => 'wolke.gif', ':fluegel:' => 'fluegel.gif', ':engel:'
   => 'engel.gif', ':teufel:' => 'teufel.gif', ' }:-)' => 'teufel.gif', ':telefon:'
   => 'telefon.gif', ' =)' => 'smile.gif.gif', ' =D' => 'biggrin.gif', ':musik:'
   => 'musik.gif', ':party:' => 'party.gif', ':xmas:' => 'xmas.gif', ' :P' => 'zunge.
   gif', ' 8-|' => 'shocked.gif', ' B-)' => 'smile.gif', ' B-D' => 'biggrin.gif',':
   flenn:' => 'heul.gif', ); } die(); // sorts the smilies' array\`

 * Like it says in the instructions there, you need to be careful with the file “
   vars.php”
 * Open it
    Scroll to the very bottom Put the cursor between the ? and > Press and
   hold your delete key for 10 seconds press > Now SAVE without pressing another
   key. Upload

 * Actually I’m using UltraEdit32, which is able to show non-printable characters,
   I’m quite sure, I’ve got no unwanted characters anywhere, neither whitespaces,
   nor anything else.
    I don’t know, where my problem is based, but my vars.php 
   seems to be clean.

 * The first error reported will tell you where it is.
