Setting cookies other than standard

Question

I am trying to modify a theme template to set some new cookies with php. My code works on a non-SMF test page but it stops the page from loading when I put it into the index.template.php file.

The cookies are set in php and the whole code basically attempts to get the POST data from a new form on the page.

As I mentioned, on a simple test page I can put my php code above the HTML and it works fine.

Is there something special about the way SMF handles cookies?

Thanks in advance

Not sure what you mean by SMF. – Snowcrash Nov 02 '12 at 19:04 — Snowcrash, Nov 02 '12 at 19:04

OK, they've probably already send out headers.

You can't set a cookie once headers have been sent.

If you want to use jQuery see this:

Thanks. Can I set cookies with jQuery if php has already sent headers and set some other cookies? – Sara44 Nov 05 '12 at 19:14
