I have found that function setcookie() doesn't work (doesn't send cookie) , when header() function is called, somewhere after. When I comment line with header() then it sends cookie to browser, but I'm not able to redirect user to another page. I know, I can use <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=index.php"> but this is not best soultion.
