Hi

i am attempting to read a cookie then if its ok, update it in the same page but getting an "already sent headers" error message


can both not be done from one page?

both commands are before anything is written to browser.

Thanks

Did you write to that cookie in that page? Just reading from that cookie won't do anything and doesn't really matter. Headers are sent for more reasons than just sending output to the browser. A preview of the script would help.

it just simply reads the cookie, sets up a few varibles but no output to the browser, then if i try to write over the cookie i get the error message "already sent headers"

as long as i know it can be done, i will find out where my error is.

thanks for your help

Ok, good luck.

I think white space may initiate sending headers...just a possible thing to look for...

I found what it was.....

when my php file uses include( "inc/cookieread.php" );

the cookie reader file was reading from the database the colours and fonts of the site the member had set in there settings..
it then change the background colour.. and then after that i was trying to set the cookie again so they remained logged in

My fault, just didn't spot it straight away
