Problems With CGI PHP and Cookies

[Anon]

Dear PHP Gods,

It seems like I can't implement

1) Cookies
2) session variables
3) header()

with CGI PHP. The error, "Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at...", seems to be caused by the line break after the first line of "code" which must be #!usr/local/bin/php for any php file run under CGI PHP.

Is there a fix, patch, workaround, or HOPEFULLY I'm just showing my newbie-ness and am totally wrong about this.

Thanks in advance for any words of wisdom.

cheers,

joe

maybe output buffering can help you

All you need to do is change one line in the php.ini file.

alter

output_buffering = Off

to be

output_buffering = On

Mark.
