Hi all, I am missing something pretty obvious here. The PHP Manual says "Remember that header() must be called before any actual output is sent, either by normal HTML tags, blank lines in a file, or from PHP.". A simple test case shows otherwise I have the following code test <?php setcookie("TestCookie", 'test'); nothing more nothing less.. only this code in a file I get the output in the browser ("test") AND the cookie is set (verified by live HTTP headers). Any ides on why this is happening ?
