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
