Well, i had to open this new topic, since my first was locked, even though i havent figured it out yet...
this is my first time using ob_start, so im not sure how to use it.
my code right now
***
if(($postlogin == $adminlogin) && ($postpassword == $adminpassword)){
ob_start();
setcookie ("adminlogin", "$postlogin", "3600");
setcookie ("adminpass", "$postpassword", "3600");
ob_end_flush();
}
****
According to php.net, this should work, but it doesnt.
Am i really just that dumb or what?

***
ob_start();
if(($postlogin == $adminlogin) && ($postpassword == $adminpassword)){
setcookie ("adminlogin", "$postlogin", time()+3600);
setcookie ("adminpass", "$postpassword", "time()+3600);
ob_end_flush();
}
****
Always put ob_start(); above all html and php coding.

ob_start() ALWAYS goes at the end of the script and ob_end_flush() always goes a the bottom above ?>

If i could set the cookie at the very top of the page i wouldnt need to use ob at all...

I need to set the cookie further down the code, after the headers are already sent

@eck
your are right....
always put ob_start() -> before all html and php code and ob_end() -> after all html and php code.

You did say ob_start went at the end, not the start :)
But your example is right, and Demonslay, you probably shoulda realized that he was asking about ob_start because set_cookie() is in some included file that doesn't (and/or can't) get called till later ;)

Maybe your new host has output buffering turned on in their php.ini?
