From the manual:

"Like other headers, cookies must be sent before any output from your script (this is a protocol restriction). This requires that you place calls to this function prior to any output, including <html> and <head> tags as well as any whitespace."

What part don't you understand? setcookie must be called before any output, so before lines 1-14.

I told you why.

That one works does not automatically mean the other works too.

BTW, your session_start is better to have at the start too, and header redirects don't work after output either.
