In this code:

$Sql = "select * from Member where UserName='$UserName' and Password='$Password'";
$Result = mysql_query($Sql);
while ($Row = mysql_fetch_array($Result))
{
setcookie ("VBZooM","$UserName",time()+604800);
}

you cannot assign cookies before any other output, it has the the first thing on the page.

I'm assuming that "config.php" is an include, try putting it before that

and anything the might be before it.

but I want ot set cookies if username and password is correct

if that is the first code on your page and the config.php file doesn't have any echo or <html> tags in it then you need to take out the spaces after the ?> in the config file.

if the above is not true then you need to show us the code that you have above that line and the code in config.php

Yes there was one space I take it out, it's work now, thank you scoutt . Now I can fix my hair.

*** is with this hair thing dude ?

I think he was ripping it out over this minor problem. Will PHP ever not count white spaces so we all can sleep better at nights when working with cookies?

I know, it is pretty stupid.

Which part PHP counting white spaces? or the fact he is pulling his hair out over this problem?
