hi: why the setcookie() function must appear BEFORE the <html> tag?
thanks

Because it sends data with the headers which needs to be sent to the browser before any output to the browser, including HTML.

It's a bit like email, where the TO and FROM data must appear in the header that is sent out before the message itself is sent.
There's also a header ABOVE the HTML page, one that you normally don't see in a browser. Use the Live HTTP Headers extension for Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Seamonkey to investigate it.
