cookie problems

[kehers]

i have a script dat goes this way
...
foreach($_GET as $k => $gv) {
$$k = stripslashes(trim($gv));
}

if(!$pg){
$pg = 1;
setcookie('query', $q);
}
...
however i got the error: Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /var/

http://www/ng/ngbot/search.htm:5)

in /var/

http://www/ng/ngbot/search.htm

on line 12

line 12 is this :setcookie('query', $q);

any idea wat could be wrong?

I'm picking that you have already output something to the page by the time you are attempting to setCookie(). You cannot output headers once you have delivered content... and this include whitespace (like a carriage return between ?> and <? tags for instance).

Walk back up the structure of your php and make sure that no whitespace or other output has been sent to the browser.
