setting cookie problem

[Anon]

I would like to set a cookie with some php code after the initial HTML. Is this possible? When I try to set a cookie inside my HTML I get the dreaded "headers already sent warning" Is there a way to keep those headers from being sent or do you have to set cookies before anything else.

setCookie("lastpoll", $id, time()+2590000);

normally you have to set all cookies before the headers are sent... however, if you use the output buffering functions in php you can set them after your initial html...
