Hi,
I am learning PHP, I am trying to set a simple cookie:
<html>
<head>
<title>Cookies</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php setcookie('test', 45,
time()+(60*60*24*7)); ?>
</body>
</html>
Firefox is returning this error:
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output
started at /Users/Daff/Sites/php_sandbox/cookies.php:7) in
/Users/Daff/Sites/php_sandbox/cookies.php on line 7
I have googled this and can't find out what I am doing wrong. Any help you
could give me would be much appreciated.
Tim
setcookie from php.net states the following:
setcookie() defines a cookie to be sent along with the rest of the HTTP
headers. Like other headers, cookies must be sent before any output from
your script (this is a protocol restriction). This requires that you place
calls to this function prior to any output, including <html> and <head>
tags as well as any whitespace
call setcookie before you output ANY THING, even error
hope that helps.
