i trying to set a session variable, but all i get is this error message.

code:
<?
session_register("name");
?>

message:

Warning: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at c:\usr\htdocs\bejken\homepage\runkirunki.php:7) in c:\usr\htdocs\bejken\homepage\runkirunki.php on line 8

Warning: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at c:\usr\htdocs\bejken\homepage\runkirunki.php:7) in c:\usr\htdocs\bejken\homepage\runkirunki.php on line 8

what to do?

Set the cookie as the VERY FIRST thing you do in the file. The first characters of the php file should be <?php (nothing before them, not even new lines or spaces) and you should use no code that outputs to the browser before you set the cookie.
