Cookies must be sent in the header portion of the transmission. If you send ANYTHING, even a single space before the <? at the top of your file, it is too late to start the session. Session_start() needs to happen very early in your program, before ANYTHING is sent to the browser. You might get away with some header() and setcookie() calls of your own, but no content.
