Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent

[Phyzlo]

Hello,

I've recently started learning PHP and have a question.
I tried running below script which can be found at
http://se2.php.net/manual/sv/function.setcookie.php

but I keep getting this message on my browser, why?

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by

Hello, Hi

but I keep getting this message on my browser, why? Because you didn't read the doc about Cookies.
http://www.php.net/setcookie
You must NOT output anything before using setcookie()
You MUST reload the page to see the cookie set.

<?
echo "Setting cookie"; Delete this line and it'll run.
$value = 'Test value';

setcookie("TestCookie", $value);
setcookie("TestCookie", $value, time()+3600); /* expire in 1 hour */
setcookie("TestCookie", $value, time()+3600, "/~rasmus/",
".example.com", 1);

echo "Cookie Set!";
