using location and setting a cookie in the same code

[pinehead18]

<?php

    $con = mysql_connect("localhost", "", "") or die(mysql_error());
    $db = mysql_select_db("pinehead", $con) or die(mysql_error());
    $sql = "SELECT * FROM users where uname='$uname' and pass='$pass'";
    $result =  mysql_query($sql);
    $row =  mysql_fetch_array($result);

    if ($row["uname"] == $uname && $row["pass"] ==
$pass) {
        setcookie ("user", $uname, time()+604800);
        echo "logged in";
        } else {
        echo "NOt logged in";
}



?>
  

I could i have it if the user is logged in to locate the person to the next page but, not get a headers error cuase of the cookies?

THank you

Calling [man]setcookie/man does not send output to the browser, as far as using [man]header/man is concerned. The following should work:

setcookie("Blah", "BlahBlah");
header("location: someotherpage.php");
