I am sure everybody had this problem at one point or another and I have done A LOT OF reading about it but still problem presists.
I keep on getting Error message saying header is already sent! The coockie thing is the very first line. I have removed all the spaces, even tried sticking it to the end of <?php still not working!
Any ideas as why?

My code is:
<?php
setcookie($A,10);
print "<head>\
<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\"><style type=\"text/css\">

</style>.................................CONTINUES HERE ";

Have you defined $A to be something? And if so, where? Is something being printed there? And if not, then there's your problem.

setcookie(A,'10');

what do you mean "define". This is where I set the value 10 to A and that's that. It does not get printed anywhere in the same page or any page after because I am getting the error message which means the cookie is not set.

I have tried this with session_start() also. Get the exact same problem.
Include your code if you have a suggestion and I try it becasue really it is making no sense to me.

I beleve the problem is to do with you making a cookie then setting meta infomation.
try using ob_start() and ob_end_flush();

PHP, just like every language, has variables that need to be defined. It does not know what "$A" is. $A has to be defined as some string. So unless you have a previous declaration of $A, your code will obviously not run.

Read the manual. PHP: setcookie

(Toggle Plain Text)

$A = "TestCookie";
$value = 'something from somewhere';
setcookie($A,$value);

If what you posted isn't the full code, and you have in fact defined $A, then you should use ob_start() and ob_end_flush() as Apophis suggested.
