hey people .
i am trying to set a cookie but when ever i try to set it, it says :

Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at C:\xampp\htdocs\signup\conf.co.signup.php on line 13

please help me with this.
this is my code:

<?php
error_reporting(-1);
if(isset($_COOKIE['logedin']))
{
?>
<script type="text/javascript">window.location ="../home.php";</script>
<?php 
}
else
{
$id = $_GET['id'];
$time = date()+60*60*24*30;
$q = setcookie("logedin", $id, $time);
if($q){
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.location = "../home.php";
</script>
<?php 
}
else
{
?>
<div id="dialog" title="Error"><p>cant create the cookie</p></div>
<?php
}
//the last closing }
}

thanks

cookies need to be send before any other output

check for white space Before <?php tag

also could try

if(isset($_COOKIE['logedin']))
   {
   header("Location: http://www.example.com/");
   }
else

cant test myself now so no guarantees

thanks but that is not working.
i removed tried to use sessions but it is still cant work
check this is my new code:

<?php
session_start();
error_reporting(-1);
/*if(isset($_COOKIE['logedin']))
{
header("location: ../home.php");
}
else
{*/
$time = 60*60*60*24*30; 
$id = (int) $_GET['id'];
$q = setcookie("logedin", $id, $time);
if($q)
{
?>
<script type="text/javascript">window.location = "../home.php";</script>
<?php
}
//the last closing }
//}

this perfectly works but when i check for the cookie in the home.php it says there is not cookie.
here is the home.php code

<?php
error_reporting(-1);
if(!isset($_COOKIE['logedin']))
{ ?>
<html>
<head><title>Please Login</title>
<?php 
include "engine/includes/ui.php";
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
			$(function(){
				// Dialog			
				$('#dialog').dialog({
					autoOpen: true,
					width: 600,
					height: 300,
					
					buttons: {
						"Continue": function() { 
							$(this).dialog("close"); 
							window.location = "index.php";
						}, 
						
					}
				});
				
			});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="dialog" title="Please Login">
<p>

</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
<?php }else{ ?>
<html><head>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="logedin.css" media="all" type="text/css" />
<?php 
include "engine/includes/ui.php";
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
			$(function(){
				// Dialog			
				$('#dialog').dialog({
					autoOpen: true,
					width: 600,
					height: 300,
					
					buttons: {
						"Continue": function() { 
							$(this).dialog("close"); 
							window.location = "index.php";
						},

				});
				
			});
</script>
</head>
