What are the limitations of setting cookies in PHP and how can you work around them?

Setting cookies in PHP has limitations such as the need to set cookies before any output is sent to the browser and the inability to modify a cookie once it has been set. To work around these limitations, you can use output buffering to delay any output until after the cookies have been set. 

<?php
ob_start();

// Set cookies
setcookie("cookie_name", "cookie_value", time() + 3600, "/");
setcookie("another_cookie", "another_value", time() + 3600, "/");

ob_end_flush();
?>
