Warning: headers already sent by on cookie set in wordpress

Question

I am working on a cookies first time. I set my cookies at the top of the HTML in header.php and its create cookie successfully

<?php
     $haystack = "http://".$_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
     $needle = "/shop/?filter_results=true&widget_search=true&";

     if(strpos($haystack, $needle)){
          setcookie("link", $haystack);
     } else {
          if(strpos($haystack, "/shop/?filter_results=true&widget_search=true")){
               setcookie("link",NULL);
          }
     }
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

But when i add my cookie in <head> tag the browser gives me

Warning: headers already sent by ......

I also try to add this code by wp_head hook but its not work.

Please help me how can i set my cookie in head tag.

You can't... `headers already sent` pertains to the PHP headers, `` pertains to HTML header. These are two different things... As soon as you output HTML, the PHP headers are sent... — RichardBernards, Nov 26 '14 at 12:47
In the code in a proper way... Try googling... First result: http://wptheming.com/2011/04/set-a-cookie-in-wordpress/ — RichardBernards, Nov 26 '14 at 12:54
@RichardBernards...it *is* a duplicate. He's outputting content *before* doing stuff with headers. — rnevius, Nov 26 '14 at 13:11

I'm not worried about anything. I'm merely flagging it so that you read the dang link. Sorry for trying to help. — rnevius, Nov 26 '14 at 13:18

This is not a good solution to OP's problem. Read the question and you know he doesnt understand headers. – RichardBernards Nov 26 '14 at 12:48
