You have to remember that with php you are engaging in a dialogue
between the client machine (your machine) and the server.

Think what echo does. It starts output. You can't have output without
headers, so the headers get sent. Cookie information is sent with the
headers so if the headers are already sent you have missed the boat.

Don't worry, it took me some time to get it straight in my mind too.
Drawing a diagram of the data flows helps.
