cookies problem

SoulFly

i upload a page that contains the following code

setcookie('member','joey',time()+3600);
echo $_COOKIE[member];

and this the error message that appears when i visit the page :

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/virtual/site9/fst/var/www/html/forums/test_cookie.php:2) in /home/virtual/site9/fst/var/www/html/forums/test_cookie.php on line 4

what is wrong?
btw, there wasn't anything before the php code.

Probably not going to help you much but I had the same problem... I THOUGHT there was nothing before the code but there was. MAKE SURE you are POSITIVE there is nothing above the code, not even a blank line or a blank character. I'll run the script on my server and see what happens.

you were right i have just removed the blank space between the lines but now it doesn't print the cookie value. got an idea why?

this successfully ran on my server

<?
setcookie ("TestCookie", "joey", time() + 3600);
echo $TestCookie;
?>

make sure you have cookies enabled on your browser

Tell me if you get "joey" on the page. If not, I'm sure cookies aren't enabled on your browser.
