where I am wrong in cookie ??

[Anon]

Hi all,

in my connect.php3 i have written

---

$db=mysql_connect("localhost","test","test");
mysql_select_db("db_of_mine",$db);
$sql1="select username,userPassword from MemberInfo where username='$userid' and userPassword='$password'";
$result1=mysql_query($sql1);
$num=mysql_numrows($result1);

---

and in another file i am including that file and setting the cookies but again "Horror" error ..

---

Warning: Oops, php3_SetCookie called after header has been sent in /home/avenuesw/avenuesworldwide-www/abc/tabish/editpages.php3 on line 6

---

I am setting cookie like this...

---

if($editid=="varify")
{
include("/home/avenuesw/avenuesworldwide-www/build/setcookie.php3");
if($num==1)
{setcookie("login","yes");

---

Where I am wrong "DONT TELL ME TO CHECK "WHITESPACES, HEADERS, AND NEWLINE BEFORE SETCOOKIE(). I have checked it already..If it is not possible this way than how ????

Please help me 🙁

Well, the point is that the only possibility to get "header already sent" is that the header has already been closed, so you have printed something that was not a header before you set the cookie.

Check your code again!

Try commenting out the setcookie() so it doesn't get executed, and put an "exit" command there instead.
Then call your page and see what it is you are printing. (you may have to "view page source")

Do you not have to specify a lifespan for a cookie???

sorry if this is way off but I don't know much about cookies.

Thanks for helping, but this is a PHP problem, not a cookie problem.
Something other than headers are being sent before the cookie is sent.
Sending cookies is part of the header, so that something in between is messgin things up.

If you post the source someone else might be able to detect the error.
