Have the form send the username to the page like this:

<?php

if (isset($username))
{
	// set cookie and tell user
} else {
	// print form
	// the form returns to this page
	// so that the cookie will be set
}

?>

And you don't need to put the setcookie() right at the START, just before
you echo() anything or have any HTML.
