In the first post of this topic, you can see that CBJ is seeing values as headers beginning with header [31] , indicating that it's not seeing the EOL.
If EOL is set correctly, check the message to see if indeed there are duplicate headers causing the error message.

Thank you Wolverton
I think you are correct with your diagnosis

this is the error message I am receiving:

There are duplicate header variables which is not allowed.

Array ( [cb_accpac] => 1 [name] => 1 [username] => 1 [email] => 1 [password] => 1 [block] => 1 [sendEmail] => 1 [registerDate] => 1 [lastvisitDate] => 1 [user_id] => 1 [params] => 1 [firstname] => 1 [middlename] => 1 [lastname] => 1 [hits] => 1 [activation] => 1 [message_last_sent] => 1 [message_number_sent] => 1 [avatar] => 1 [avatarapproved] => 1 [approved] => 1 [confirmed] => 1 [lastupdatedate] => 1 [registeripaddr] => 1 [cbactivation] => 1 [banned] => 1 [banneddate] => 1 [unbanneddate] => 1 [bannedby] => 1 [unbannedby] => 1 [bannedreason] => 1 [acceptedterms] => 1 [] => 2 [cb_companyaddress] => 1 [cb_citytown] => 1 [cb_provincestate] => 1 [cb_altcontactname] => 1 [cb_companyphone] => 1 [cb_contactcell] => 1 [cb_salesagentemail] => 1 [SALESPERSON] => 1 [cb_zippostalcode] => 1 [cb_country] => 1 [cb_teamleader] => 1 [cb_industry] => 1 [cb_secondaryphone] => 1 [cb_faxnumber] => 1 [cb_website] => 1 [cb_pb_enable] => 1 [cb_pb_autopublish] => 1 [cb_pb_notifyme] => 1 [cb_pb_enable_blog] => 1 [cb_pb_enable_wall] => 1 [cb_pb_autopublish_wall] => 1 [cb_pb_notifyme_wall] => 1 [cb_creditstanding] => 1 [usertype] => 1 )

there seems to be a slight difference between the fields headers, how would I go about correcting this with libre office (or another similar tool)?

thank you in advance

Looks like you have two empty headers...

[32] => [33] =>
