#7629 — setcookie() returns FALSE

Hi,

I have the following code:
		if(setcookie("FSBO", "TEST", time()+3600)) {
		echo "TRUE<br>";
		} else {
		echo "FALSE<br>";
		}
		print_r($_COOKIE);
and the ouput on my box is false. How do I know why I can't set a cookie?
Thank you!

You many *NOT* output *ANY* Code, before you use setcookie.

The problem is that cookies are set in the HTTP header, which are sent as soon as
there is output. If you had turned all messages on you would see an error message
telling you '...headers sent...'

see http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.headers-sent.php and the links there.
