Re: Help! Can't set cookie or redirect!!!

Phil, You are sending output somewhere prior to the following line: header("Location: " . $HTTP_POST_VARS["refURL"]); Basically, as soon as you output anything, PHP has to assume you are finished manipulating headers. Output can be anything from a space, newline, or HTML. It is not your setcookie() function but something that happens prior to that. Remember that everything not in PHP mode is considered output.

UM YEAH header("Location: " . $HTTP_POST_VARS["refURL"]); The first time I ran this script it set the cookie just fine; subsequent runnings of this script produce this error. What am I doing wrong, anyone?
