Cookie header error

I always forget what causes this. something to do with exicuting html before the cookie is set. Heres the error:

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at d:\teen insomniac\site\ti.php:2) in d:\teen insomniac\site\pages\login.php on line 12

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at d:\teen insomniac\site\ti.php:2) in d:\teen insomniac\site\pages\login.php on line 13

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at d:\teen insomniac\site\ti.php:2) in d:\teen insomniac\site\pages\login.php on line 14

and the source:

PHP:

<span class="font">
<?php
     if($login=="yes") {
         if(empty($userin) || empty($passin)) {
             echo("<div align=\"center\">");
             echo("<img src=\"template/images/error.gif\"><br>");
             echo("<span class=\"font\">Sorry, you didn't complete the signin form. Try again</span>");
             echo("</div>");
         }else{
             $vu=mysql_fetch_row(mysql_query("select admin_user,admin_pass from admin where admin_user=\"$userin\" and admin_pass=\"$passin\" LIMIT 1"));
             if($vu[0]) {
                 SetCookie("tiadminuser","$vu[0]",Time()+180000);
                 SetCookie("tiadminpass","$vu[1]",Time()+180000);
                 header("location: $PHP_SELF?ti=admin");
             }else{
                 include("pages/error401.php");
             }
         }
     }else{
         include("pages/loginform.php");
     }
?>
</span>

PHP:

<?php
SetCookie("tiadminuser","$vu[0]",Time()+180000);
SetCookie("tiadminpass","$vu[1]",Time()+180000);
header("location: $PHP_SELF?ti=admin");

?>

That's your problem, specifically the header(). You cannot set a cookie then use the header() function.

Remove the first line, the <span> tag. See what happens!

add under <?php
ob_start("ob_gzhandler");

What's with the ob() functions?

you can't have the <span class="font"> in there and have the Header(). i think its the same for the cookies but i'm not sure. i never use cookies.

Maybe you figured this out already, but when u're using cookies u can not output any html before u set the cookies. Even a blank space in front of the <? can screw it up, it's just the way it works. So make sure you know that, you should probably check out the manual at php.net and read up on cookies, it'll give you ALOT of info.

output buffering.
so you can put stuff before setting cookies.

So I could, let's say, echo something before setting a cookie?
