Re: problem

Hiya

I think this might relate to how the php implementation of setCookie is
working and what order things get done in after a page compile.

You could:

(a) Try using header("Set-cookie: Name=etc");
(b) Try using a Refresh header instead:

	Refresh: 0; URL='http://www.php.net'

(c) Send an HTML document with a <script> that sets the cookie and does
the redirect client-side

Also, I'm not quite clear what you mean by

An HTTP response is only issued if the client makes an HTTP
request. Perhaps there is a client issue - what browser are you using?

Good luck,
Igor.
