无法在嵌入式脚本中设置cookie

Question

I am fairly new to PHP and am trying to embed a php script into a frame (Web Presence Builder / Parallels) which sets 2 cookies for a webpage. I am using the following code to set the cookies.

$hour = time() + 3600; 
setcookie("Cookie1", $_POST['username'], $hour, '.mydomain.com'); 
setcookie("Cookie2", $_POST['pass'], $hour, $hour, '.mydomain.com');

The cookies are not set, however, when I run the same script on a blank page (same server, no html or css), the cookies are set. I have read the documentation where it states

Like other headers, cookies must be sent before any output from your script...

Is there a way to insert the script in order for the cookies to be set?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Put

<?php
$hour = time() + 3600; 
setcookie("Cookie1", $_POST['username'], $hour, '.mydomain.com'); 
setcookie("Cookie2", $_POST['pass'], $hour, $hour, '.mydomain.com');

at the very top of your file. Putting that right at the top won't affect where any text inputs on your page are, as that code isn't outputting any input fields.
