Ok i have tried many tutorials and all tell me to do this:

setcookie("uname", $name, time()+36000);

But it always says:
"Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent"

They say to put it on the very first line with no spaces, which i do, like this:
<?php setcookie("mycookie", $name, time()+36000); ?>

Im using IIS with XP Pro, and have PHP 4.3 installed... why wont it work?

**edit, wow i cant believe no one could answer this EASY question, but after reading many documents, i figured out that i hadent declared the $name variable, meanwhile all the gay tutorials didnt happen to MENTION THIS LITTLE FACT....

, but ne ways, cookies workin great now

Hi!! , icedragn

I used to get this problem, it's easy to clear....
You might added function to display or html function before you set Cookie code, to solve it....

// do not add any code before this!!!
<?php
ob_start();
echo "................."; // can use "echo" function.
setcookie("uname", $name, time()+36000);
........
echo ".............."; // can use "echo" function.
ob_end_flush();
?>
<html>
<head>
<meta ....>
......
</html>

this's ok!!

if something wrong........... i'm sorry but i think it's right!!!

General rule of thumb is to declare any $ variables, beit through and include or whatnot.

Keep this in mind for the future, in case you ever decided to do a script. It can be a hassle and a half.
