    No, php is telling you that something has been sent to browser on line 8 of regt.php.
    And setting cookie is made through sending a header like this:
    
Set-Cookie: SS=Q0=aW5mbzpodHRwOi8vd3d3Lmdvb2dsZS5ydS8; path=/search
    Code (markup):
    So you get this error - script can not set cookie.

    There is an easy fix.

    If you add this to the very top of the page (no space or line break above it) it should be ok

    <?php
ob_start();
?>
