Ok I am making a basic counter. IT puts a cookie on the persons computer and adds their number to a total. Then writes to a file. When the user comes back, if they have the cookie on their computer, then they won't be counted again.

code:

<?php

setcookie("visited",1,time()+3600); 

?>

<html>

<head>

<title> Test </test>

</head>

<body>

//IF they have visited site before cookies value will be 1

if ($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["visited"] == 2){  

    

         //CODE TO OPEN FILE HERE and DISPLAY THE NUMBER





//Otherwise they havn't visited the site, therefore their cookie is only equal to one

} else { 



     $num = $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["visited"] + 1;  //adds one to 1, making it 2.

     setcookie("visited",$num,time()+3600); //set the cookie with a value of 2



     //Now it opens the text file with the number in it, adds one to the total number and prints the amount, then saves the file with the new values.



}

?>



</body>

</html>

I'm getting an error on line 123

which is: setcookie("visited",$num,time()+3600); //set the cookie with a value of 2

I can't figure out whats wrong

PLZ help

You can't output anything before calling the setcookie function. besides the html you have outputting can't even have one space before your php opening tag.
