Hi,
I am learning PHP, I am trying to set a simple cookie:
<html>
<head>
<title>Cookies</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php setcookie('test', 45, time()+(60*60*24*7)); ?>
</body>
</html>
Firefox is returning this error:
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by
(output started at /Users/Daff/Sites/php_sandbox/cookies.php:7) in
/Users/Daff/Sites/php_sandbox/cookies.php on line 7
I have googled this and can't find out what I am doing wrong. Any
help you could give me would be much appreciated.

Cookies HAVE to be at the top of the page... You output ANYTHING else
and you get the error you wound up getting.

If you're not sure if data has already been sent to the client (I ran
into an included file having a space after >?) you can use
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.headers-sent.php before you call
setcookie();
If nothing else it'll help with diagnosing this error when you run into
it again.
