Cookie problem

[Anon]

Hi!

I have a little Problem:

I coded following to avoid that every person who visits my page is counted, but everytime I run that script the Parser tells me:

Cannot add header information- headers already sent by (output started at -:3) in on line 14 (where the cookie is set)

Heres the code of my Script:

<?php

echo "<h1>Setting Cookie for non-multiple IP logging </h1>";

if(isset($PageViewed))
{

echo"Cookie is active and so you are not counted <br><br>";

}else {

echo "The Cookie is not active and so you are counted <br><br>";

setcookie("PageViewed", "TRUE", time()+180);

$datei = fopen("count.txt","r") ;
$visit = fgets($datei,1024) ;
$visit = $visit + 1;
fclose($datei);
$datei = fopen("count.txt","w");
fwrite($datei, $visit) ;
fclose($datei);

}
?>

I would be very glad if someone could help me with my problem.

Thanks a lot

Ali

You can't output any information before the cookie is set, so you will have to set the cookie before you output any HTML contents.

That's because the cookie is set in the file's header which is sent before the contents of the file.
