Can i set a cookie and afterwards use a header? 1

[KBBJ]

<?php
setcookie(&quot;cookie&quot;,&quot;something&quot;
header(”Location: http//

http://www.somewhere.com”);

?>

A little amateur-question: How can I get this tiny script to work?

I think it has something to do with:
ob_start()
...
ob_end_flush()

...But it just fails for me.

<?php
ob_start();

$days = 365;
$expires = time()+($days * 86400);
setcookie(&quot;cook_log&quot;, $log, $expires);

$url = &quot;inthemiddleofnowhere.php&quot;;
header(&quot;Location: $url&quot;
exit();

I have tried your code now(thanks for trying Sleidia).
Well. With your code, I will get relocated to a new site without problems, but the cookie is not created.

If I delete the; HEAD(LOCATION: etc.), the cookie will be created when a new site manually is loaded.

Is it just me or...

Sorry, but there must be something wrong inside
your cookie script.

Did you use the one I gave you with something
as $log?

This script always work for me.
Double check you code. My Work...

Dont forget that the folder where you create the cookie must be the same than the folder where you access it later.
I'm pretty sure you already knew that though. My Work...

You have encouraged me to carry on with the problem Sleidia.
I figured out, that the code that works for you is a problem for me because there is a bug in PHP version 4.2.0. I have to turn DISPLAY_LOG_ERRORS off in php.ini before it works.

But it still don't work.

Instead I have my own solution in good old HTML:

<?php
ob_start();
setcookie(&quot;cook_log&quot;,&quot;something&quot;
ob_end_flush();
echo '<META HTTP-EQUIV=&quot;refresh&quot; CONTENT=&quot;0;url=http://www.somewhere.com&quot;>';
?>

It's not pretty but it works.

Any suggestions will be granted.

This is a bug with iis. Don't use IIS, d/l apache or something. You can also set the cookie and redirect with javascript, just not set the cookie and redirect with the header, it drops the cookie in iis.
