Hi. Could someone plase tell me why the following code;

setcookie("TEMPCOOKIE", $admin_password_sent, time() + 60 * 60);

$show = $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["TEMPCOOKIE"];

echo "Password saved was $show";

gives me as PHP error as follows;

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at c:\program files\nusphere\apache\nsdocs\test\acepassword\acepassword.php:31) in c:\program files\nusphere\apache\nsdocs\test\acepassword\acepassword.php on line 33

Thanks

YOu must set cookies BEFORE the opening HTML tag.

so it should look like this:

setcookie("TEMPCOOKIE", $admin_password_sent, time() + 60 * 60);

$show = $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["TEMPCOOKIE"];

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE></TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
echo &quot;Password saved was $show&quot;;
</BODY>
</HTML>

So basically, I need to set the cookie earlier, and then call it when running the script and checking the cookie?

Thanks

Ok...still aint working :(

Im using the following codes in two different files, template.inc.php and acepassword.php. The codes are;

-----------acepassword.php -----------------------
Code: 
<?

require(&quot;template.inc.php&quot;);

$admin_password = &quot;1234&quot;;


$rating_code = $rating;

global $admin_password, $action, $admin_password_sent, $rating_code;

// now we need to call a sub to see what we want to do...
decide_what_to_do($action);

/* ############################ */

// decide what we want to do...
function decide_what_to_do($action) {

if ($action == &quot;login&quot;) { do_login(); } else { login_page(); }

}
/* ############################ */

// sub to check if the username and stuff is correct. If it is we need to create a cookie
// and also read the .htaccess file list so they can decide what area the want to be working
// on.
function do_login() {

if ($GLOBALS[admin_password_sent] == $GLOBALS[admin_password]) {
echo &quot;pasword matched&quot;;

$cookie = setcookie(&quot;TEMPCOOKIE&quot;, $admin_password_sent, time() + 60 * 60);

// $show = $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[&quot;TEMPCOOKIE&quot;];

echo &quot;Password saved...&quot;;



} else {
echo &quot;<center><font color=\&quot;#FF0000\&quot;>Password $GLOBALS[admin_password_sent] was incorrect</font></center><BR><BR>&quot;;
show_html_login();
}

}

/* ############################ */

// the page to show if nothing was sent..i.e they had not logged in!
function login_page() {

// get the html from template.inc.php..makes this file less messy and easier to
// interpret and fix bugs :p
show_html_login();


}

/* ############################ */

// error sub incase we get some problems...
function error($error) {

echo &quot;There was an error. It was: &quot;;
echo $error;

}

/* ############################ */

?>

----------Templates.inc.php-------------------------
Code: 
<?

// html to show when loggin in...
function show_html_login() {

echo <<<TEMPLATE
