Sep 27.2004

Hi there,

I have created the following codes:
<?php
$model = $_REQUEST[“model”];
$colour = $_REQUEST[“colour”];
$quantity = $_REQUEST[“quantity”];
$cookieValue = “$model $colour”;
setcookie(“ProductView”, $cookieValue);
?>

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; charset=iso-8859-1″>
<title>MoWidgets.com</title>
<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”myStyle.css”>

</head>

…. on and on

But when run, the error msg is:
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at C:XitamiwebpagesdisplayProduct.php:2) in C:XitamiwebpagesdisplayProduct.php on line 6

anyone can help?

@ShrineDesignsSep 27.2004 — if there is a character, newline, return, or any html before the code block containning the setcookie() function it will fail

thanks. i realised you cant leave any spoacing or empty line in between.

@HellspireSep 27.2004 — That is NOT true.... if you put

ob_start(); at the beginning, and

ob_end_flush(); at the end (of the file)

Then you can call or set cookies, sessions, header calls etc without a problem....

Furthermore you are not including all the variables required for setcookie

setcookie("nameofcookie","valueofcookie","timetillexpires","directoryinwhichcookiehaseffect",".mysite.com");

there is one other arguement 0 or 1 for secure sites required before setting but youll most likely not need to set this unless your using https://

[font=palatino linotype]Actually, if you can believe it, the only required argument is the cookie name.[/font]

Success!
