You must set cookies before you send any output to the browser, but that is
not the same as saying before you code any statements. Similarly,
"session_start()" must come before any browser output.
You might be best served this way:
<?php session_start();
~~ execute some code, etc ~~
$_SESSION['v1'] = data_element_1;
~~ execute some more code, etc ~~
?>
The $_SESSION array should be available to all PHP pages of your site, so
long as the site visitor has followed the links from one page to the next.
I personally find sessions less confusing than cookies. ~Ray
