<HERE THERE IS MORE HTML CODES>

but the problem is that it gives this error

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/karimweb/domains/SITE/login.php:4) in /home/karimweb/domains/public_html/SITE/login.php on line 189

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/karimweb/domains/public_html/SITE/login.php:4) in /home/karimweb/domains/public_html/SITE/login.php on line 190

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/karimweb/domains/public_html/SITE/login.php:4) in /home/karimweb/domains/public_html/SITE/login.php on line 191

and the navigator douesnt register the cookies
the lines 189 and 190 and 191 are the lines where i write the code to register cookies on the browser

do this

PHP Code:


		
			
<?print_r(headers_sent());?>

i did it and it give the number 1 !

You need to have the PHP above the HTML. Send the headers before anything else, even a blank space, gets sent to the browser. Otherwise, as it's telling you, the headers have already been sent and they can't be set or re-sent after that point.

Code:

<?php /* send your headers */ ?>



<html><!-- do your stuff --></html>



<?php /* clean up behind yourself. Remember, if you sprinkle when you tinkle, be a sweety and wipe the seaty. */ ?>

My phones ringing.

but the html code MUST be before the php
so i can mix design and php

you can use output buffering to prevent this too. try ob_end_clean.

or you could do $header_%theheadernamehere% = header("fff");

No it doesn't, that's the beauty of PHP. You can easily process everything you need to at the top of the page, and then use it later on down the page. PHP variables aren't restricted to the scope of the current opening and closing tag.

Either way, you don't have much of a choice. You cannot send a header after HTML has already been sent, and there is no way around that. Output buffering offers you a kind of alternative, but really there shouldn't be a need for it.

so can u write here a little exemple plz

Cookies can only be created before the end of the headers. The headers end right before content is outputted or you end the HTML <head> tag.

Wrong. The PHP engine parses both HTML and PHP, you can mix PHP in with your HTML as much as you want.

I am looking at it again. As I said before, it is because the headers have already been sent. Set your cookies before any content is written.
