dink87522 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I am trying to set a cookie with setcookie("questionsCorrect", $qCorrect); That is the only code for it on the page although the page in the browser gives the warning "Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/dinksoft/public_html/question.php: in /home/dinksoft/public_html/question.php on line 439" Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/169488-setting-a-cookie/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 You have output on line 8 in question.php You cannot have any output before the use of setcookie().

dink87522 Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 I can't work it out. Even if I place it at the top of my file it won't work. What I want to do is find a random number and then add that to the cookie (then next time we load that page we read that random number). <?php $rnd = rand(1, 203); $qCorrect = $rnd; setcookie("questionsCorrect", $qCorrect); Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/169488-setting-a-cookie/#findComment-895024 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dink87522 Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 I got it working. I was placing it only at the top of the Body tags, not the very top. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/169488-setting-a-cookie/#findComment-895026 Share on other sites More sharing options...
