Jump to PostIf that first blank line is actually in your source file, that is the culprit. There can be NO OUTPUT before setting a cookie or session (which also sets a cookie.)
Jump to PostYou have welcome seller/invalid seller output before setting a cookie. You were already told that there could not be any output before setting the cookie.

Thanks again . :)
If that first blank line is actually in your source file, that is the culprit. There can be NO OUTPUT before setting a cookie or session (which also sets a cookie.)
When I type setcookie function at the first line I see header error!
Can you modify this code?
You have welcome seller/invalid seller output before setting a cookie. You were already told that there could not be any output before setting the cookie.
Thanks.
What do I do now?
Sorry, scratch that, you're echoing after the setcookie, so the error must be before that. Seems that you have some whitespace before the php tag. Get rid of this.
I have an error again when I use setcookie function in the first line !!
<?php
setcookie('status','seller',time()+1600);
if($_POST)
{
$con=mysql_connect('localhost','root','136');
mysql_select_db('phpshop',$con);
if($_POST['group']=='seller'){
.....Do you have white space before the <?php tag
Whitespace inside the php tag doesn't matter
Thanks a lot!!!!
I had a white space before the <?php tag.
When I removed that , code work correctly!
Ok. So we can setcookie or session in UTF8 files!
Thanks again!
