Getting error in php header function

Question

When I'm using php header function I'm getting an error like this,

Cannot modify header information - headers already sent

I know i should use ob_start(); at the beginning of the code for rid this error and I used too but nevertheless I'm getting error, Please tell me where I'm going wrong? This is my code where I'm getting error.

function insert_charset_header() { 
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8'); 
exit; 
}

Thanks in advance

Is there another place in your code where the headers are being sent? — berentrom, Mar 10 '14 at 06:06
The error message tells you where the output started, which implies sending the HTTP headers first. — Gumbo, Mar 10 '14 at 06:12

That should be your first function before anything else, also check for any extra space in your code at the end of your file: see this question/answer: How to fix "Headers already sent" error in PHP
