Cookie Headers or Something....

[Mistah_Roth]

Ok I have a small script that just allows you to login, register, and log out from a little Welcome message on my page, heres the error message I get:

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/virtual/site20/fst/var/www/html/members/index3.php:11) in /home/virtual/site20/fst/var/www/html/members/admin/functions.php on line 1611

Heres the area of the code:

// ###################### Start vbsetcookie #######################
function vbsetcookie($name,$value="",$permanent=1) {
  global $cookiepath,$cookiedomain, $SERVER_PORT;

  if ($permanent) {
    $expire=time() + 60*60*24*365;
  } else {
    $expire = 0;
  }

  if ($SERVER_PORT == "443") {
    // we're using SSL
    $secure = 1;
  } else {
    $secure = 0;
  }

  if (defined('USE_COOKIE_WORKAROUND')) { 
    // It's been reported that there's a bug in PHP 4.2.0/4.2.1 with Apache 2 causing setcookie() to not work correctly.
    // This is the workaround. If you need to use this code, please add:
    //      define('USE_COOKIE_WORKAROUND', 1);
    // to your config.php.

if (!$value) {
  // need to do this so IE deletes the cookie correctly
  $expire = time() - 31536001;
  $value = 'deleted';
}
$cookieheader = "Set-Cookie: $name=".urlencode($value);
if ($expire) {
	$cookieheader .= '; expires='.gmdate('D, d-M-Y H:i:s', $expire).' GMT';
}
if ($cookiepath) {
  $cookieheader .= "; path=$cookiepath";
}
if ($cookiedomain) {
  $cookieheader .= "; domain=$cookiedomain";
}
if ($secure) {
  $cookieheader .= '; secure';
}
header($cookieheader, false); // force multiple headers of same type
  } else {
    setcookie($name, $value, $expire, $cookiepath, $cookiedomain, $secure);
  }

}

line 1611 is

 setcookie($name, $value, $expire, $cookiepath, $cookiedomain, $secure);

Whats the problem?

I think the error is in index3.php, where the vbsetcookie- function is called.
It means that you already have sent output to the browser, and php won't allow cookie/header-statements after that.

Its not the index3.php its the welcome.php thats included, heres what it says:

<?php
error_reporting(7);

$templatesused="welcomeguest, welcomeuser";

require('./global.php');

if ($bbuserinfo[userid]==0) {
  eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("members_welcomeguest")."\");");
} else {
  $username=$bbuserinfo['username'];
  eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("members_welcomeuser")."\");");
}

if ($action == "login") {
  eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("members_login")."\");");
}

What is making the error there? Also how do I fix that cookie problem?

Hmm..
You need to look at this:
Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/virtual/site20/fst/var/www/html/members/index3.php:11)

This is where the output to the browser starts, and there can't be any header-statements after this line.
