Problem with cookies + redirect
In my script, when a user logs in it first creates cookies with their username and password, then redirects them to a user-control panel-type page....the problem is, if i use Header:Location after settings the cookies, the cookies won't get created. If i remove the Header:Location after the code for the cookies, they get created fine.

it's somethin like this
PHP Code:
 setcookie("username", $username, (time() + 3600));
setcookie("password", $password, (time() + 3600));

header("Location: users.php?a=cp"); 


like i said, if i take out the last line, the cookies work perfectly, but with the redirect....no cookies
any thoughts?

Remove the header location, echo a -> you are now logged in <- formatted html string and also echo a meta refresh tag set at 'x' number of seconds. That should get rid of your problem. PHP is funny when running header redirects after setting cookies and setting session variables. Some system configs work fine and others throw fits. I have seen countless people have problems with this same situation....

Oh ok thanks a lot
I always wondered why I'd see on (mostly forums) some sites after you'd vote in a poll or something it would say please wait while we redirect you to.....i always thought why are they showing me this....just do it ....guess i know why now!

Common problem - I once reported it to PHP and recieved an email back saying a whole bunch of jibberish. In short, they can't find a feasable answer for it niether....
