Im having problems setting cookies could someone help me?

Im putting this code in my page :
<?php $user = $_POST["user"];

setcookie("rememberUser", $user, time()+606024*365, '/');

And this is what is appearing when I try to set it:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/customiz/public_html/null1.php:10) in /home/customiz/public_html/null1.php on line 12

Your call to setcookie is probably occurring after the browser has received some text. The way to fix this so that you can send headers in a more flexible manner in your code is to turn on some kind of buffering. There is a setting in php.ini that can automatically do this for you without having to explicitly turn buffering on for each page. Look in your php.ini file for output_buffering and set it to On if you would like to do this.

i don't have a php.ini file and i don't really understand what is going wrong

Forget about all that stuff up there. Just make sure that that PHP is running first thing. Put it way up before everything else. It'll work.

I submited this answer on your other posting, but I'll post it again for clarification.

Make sure that this PHP code is the <b>first</b> thing to run. Like this:

<?php

//your PHP code here

?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Blah</title>
