    Put the "echo" line after the "setcookie" line.

    I won't get into the PHP code itself (heh), but that should fix the error for you.

    still shows that error, but above 'Login is succesful!'


    heres the code above it:
    
<html>
<head>
<title>test</title>
</head>
<body>
<? include('../config.php'); ?>
<center>
<table width="375" border="1" align="center" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#000000">
<tr><td align="middle" bgcolor="#589f32">
<b>Login to the administrator panel!</b><br>
</td></tr><tr><td>

    you can try getting around using ob_start() and ob_end_flush().

    I got it now, read the php manual and i was suppose to put the code before the <html> and <head> tags.

    You need to put it before any page code or print, including any tag. :)
