 New Comment:

this is not a PHP issue, it is either the webserver or the browser that
ignores the SetCookie header on HTTP redirects

btw: your Location: header usage is dangerous, the RFC
clearly says that you have to use *absolute* URLs
in Location: headers

<?
//some processing
$info = base64encode("$information");
setcookie("user",$info,time()+15552000);
Header("Location: file.php");
?>

The cookie doesn't get set if a Header() function is used straight
after it. If I comment out the header function then the cookie is set
ok. I can also replace the Header() function with an echo() as in:
echo "<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='0;file.php'>";
and this works fine also.

The PHP installed is the 4.2.2 precompiled binary for Windows, running
php.exe from IIS version 5. The piece of code is actually used in
PHPNuke. Line 502 of /modules/Your_Account/index.php.

Am I missing something?
