PHP cookie problem

When I use this command to set a cookie when you login

<?php
if ($pass == ****) {

  setcookie("admin", 1);
 
    echo "You have logged in successfully!! You will be redirected to the posting area in 3 seconds!";

} 
else {
  
echo " You have entered the incorrect password!! You will be redirected in 3 seconds!"; 

}
?>

It always gives me this error below

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/jakkass/public_html/thebuilder/createcookie.php:4) in /home/jakkass/public_html/thebuilder/cookiestuff.php on line 4

could any1 tell me what to do to fix this

If you want to output headers to the webpage, you can't have printed anything to the page beforehand or you'll get that error message. You have to print headers first (cookies, content-description etc, session_start() and so on), and then start printing html. What are you doing at line 4 of createcookie.php?
