Hey when I try to make this script write a cookie I get this error

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at c:\appserv\www\mypicx\layout.php:140) in c:\appserv\www\mypicx\account.php on line 64

account.php line 56 - 72

$mp_username = $row['username']; $mp_password = $row['password']; $mp_email = $row['email']; $mp_image = $row['image']; $mp_name = $row['name']; $mp_city = $row['city']; $mp_state = $row['state']; $mp_country = $row['country']; $mp_aim = $row['aim']; $mp_icq = $row['icq']; $mp_yahoo = $row['yahoo']; $mp_msn = $row['msn']; $mp_sex = $row['sex']; $mp_mm = $row['mm']; $mp_dd = $row['dd']; $mp_yyyy = $row['yyyy']; $mp_bio = $row['bio']; $mp_turnons = $row['turnons']; $mp_turnoffs = $row['turnoffs']; $mp_registered = $row['registered']; $mp_lastlogin = $row['lastlogin']; $mp_ip = $row['ip']; $mp_active = $row['active'];

// Database Coding //

$md5pass = md5($password);
if($md5pass == $mp_password){
$loginduration = "60";
$usercookie = base64_encode("$username||$md5pass");
setcookie("mypicxuser","$usercookie", time() + $loginduration);
tablehead(1, "Login Successfull");
echo"Login Successfull";
tablefoot(1);
}else{
tablehead(1, "Login Failed");
echo"**** off *****";
tablefoot(1);
}

Line 64, where it says the problem is is this

setcookie("mypicxuser","$usercookie", time() + $loginduration);

Someone please help. Thanks for any replies.

read up on headers (http://www.phpbuilder.com/board/showthread.php?s=&postid=10453971#post10453971)

Lol, thats not very informative, just like a 500 error :p

You have that problem because you have sent output to your browser. Two ways to fix this without massively overhauling your code is to look into using external templates, or look into using output buffering (http://ca3.php.net/manual/en/ref.outcontrol.php).
Hope that helps!

well actually, the link i provided explains very specifically what would cause the error that DigitalBliss mentioned...but if that's considered not very informative, so be it.

hey devinemke do you have any messengers?

No, the link was fine.
I'm just making the point of quickly telling him why the error is there, and the easiest ways to solve it. Don't get me wrong, I quite enjoyed the article, but we shouldn't assume that people have a strong knowledge of HTTP requests/responses and how to use header functions. Thats all I was getting at.
As well, I originally thought that your link was for the php resource on headers, which I know is pretty much useless for this :P

lol i looked at both the sites and it just got me more lost in all of this. I need some serious help :(

Eh... I think its simply as easy as adding your ob_start() and flush. Been awhile since I've needed to use the output buffering.

<?php
ob_start();

// Bunch 'o code.
ob_end_flush();
?>

Don't *think* you need to worry about getting your contents on this.

Do I put those functions around the whole php file or only around the login function?

We need to see the code in c:appservwwwmypicxlayout.php to judge this i guess.

Hard to see from the posted code, but is there ANY whitespace or newline in the last file be4 the <?php or after the closing ?> ??

Don't know if u use a hex editor enabled text-editor, but I use ultraedit, which has hexmode. I once encountered strange (non-visible) signs right at the start of a file, which caused the same error. I coulndt even see the signs untill i opened the file in HEX mode. On that occasion, the problem was the file being UTF-8 type. Later changed it to DOS type and the error was gone.
