Re: setcookie() not working - help!

Hi, Thank you for the reply. The problem was in the line 55, as I told. This line was the one in which the setcookie() was writen. But now I solved the problem by just moving the whole script at the beginning of the file, that is before the html and doctype tags. As is writen in the documentation. (This documentation is great, by the way). Cannot modify header information, as I understood in this way, means that cookies actions, like setcookie(), are actions which take place before any html document is created by php, which means that a setcookie method cannot take place after the html code is created, that is when it is writen after any html tag. This make sense actually. Cookies are pieces of information that php needs in order to create a "personalized" html document. Therefore, it makes no sense in writing them after html tags. Thanks once more for your support. Liviu Niel Archer <niel@catweasel.org> wrote: Hi In the example code you sent, I can't see any reason for an error. Is this a verbatim copy of your code? As Stut implied, the reported error and the documentation tells you everything you should need to know in this case, and as with any problem the documentation should be your first resource. However the error is a little vague as to whether the setcookie() is the cause of the error or if header output is attempted afterwards. If this is not your complete code, and the setcookie is the cause, then you have output before it somewhere, else there is header output after it. I think you might want to change your condition too. > $cookie = $_COOKIE['cookie']; this will set $cookie regardless (with the appropriate value or an empty string), so that: > if(!isset($cookie)){ always fails it would be better to do if(!isset($_COOKIE['cookie'])){ or if(!empty($cookie)){ Niel -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
