Hey, I've got a problem with cookies.. Here's the code for my login page.. <?php //Grab the files with all the configuation amd functions require("corelayout/header.php"); require("corelayout/function.php"); //Check to see if there is a value in the get variable if (!empty($_GET['mode'])) { $st_login_mode = $_GET['mode']; } else { $st_login_mode = "NULL"; } //Check to see if there is a value in the Post variable if (!empty($_POST['username'])) { $st_login_user = $_POST['username']; } //Check to see if there is a value in the Post variables if (!empty($_POST['password'])) { $st_login_pass = $_POST['password']; } //If the mode is set to login, then run the login scripts, otherwise logout if($st_login_mode == "login") { // Run the Login function which is in the functions.php file. login(); } elseif($st_login_mode == "logout") { //Destroy the cookie. setcookie( "userid", "0", time () - 36000, "/", $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'], 0 ); $st_login_suceed = "3"; } else { $st_login_suceed = "0"; } ?> And here's the login(); function, which sits in function.php <?php function login() { //Set the variables needed by the function global $st_global_db, $st_login_user, $st_login_pass, $st_login_user_text, $st_login_pass_text, $st_login_suceed, $st_login_info; //Connect to the MySQL server mysql_connect($st_global_db['location'], $st_global_db['username'], $st_global_db['password']) or die ("Function login couldn't connect to database"); mysql_select_db($st_global_db['database']) or die ("Function login couldn't select database"); //Check to see if the Username Exists $st_login_user_sql = "SELECT * FROM st_users WHERE Username = '$st_login_user'"; $st_login_user_result = mysql_query($st_login_user_sql) or die ("Function login SQL Error:&nbsp;".mysql_error()); $st_login_user_num = mysql_num_rows($st_login_user_result); if ($st_login_user_num == "1") { //Username exists so inform the user. $st_login_user_text = "Username Confirmed"; //Check to see if the password matches $st_login_pass_sql = "SELECT * FROM st_users WHERE Username = '$st_login_user' AND Password = '$st_login_pass'"; $st_login_pass_result = mysql_query($st_login_pass_sql) or die ("Function login SQL Error:&nbsp;".mysql_error()); $st_login_pass_num = mysql_num_rows($st_login_pass_result); $st_login_info = mysql_fetch_array($st_login_pass_result); if ($st_login_pass_num == "1") { //Password correct so inform the user. $st_login_pass_text = "Password Confirmed"; $st_login_suceed = "1"; setcookie("userid", $st_login_info['UserID'], time () + 36000, "/", $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'], 0 ); } else { //Password failed, so inform the user. $st_login_pass_text = "<b>Error</b>: Password incorrect, please go back and try again."; $st_login_suceed = "2"; } } else { //Username not found. $st_login_user_text = "<b>Error</b>: Username not found, or Username entered incorrectly. Please go back and enter it correctly"; $st_login_suceed = "2"; } //Close the connection mysql_close(); } ?> But when ever i attempt to either login or logout, the cookies wont send giving me the following error <b>Warning</b>: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at e:\htdocs\sagestower\login.php:1) in <b>e:\htdocs\sagestower\corelayout\function.php</b> on line <b>44</b> Any suggestions?
