[snip] I have one more than one occasion run into the problem of "headers already sent" when I was using the header function in combination with cookies. What is the right way of doing it? <?php header ( your thinggies here); setcookie(blabal); or the other way round? can I do php routines between these consecutive calls for header and cookie? I know that all headers must be sent before other output but what is the catch here? [/snip] Well, if you send headers first you cannot send cookies, if you send cookies first you cannot send headers. But you can use the ob functions to fix it.
