problem

Hello , I had earlier posted a similar question on this list, but could,nt get the answer. If somebody can reply, it would be great. A PHP script must simultaneously set the cookie and should redirect to a new page. Therefore HTTP headers from the server must go something like this - Set-Cookie: NAME=a,VALUE=val1; Set-Cookie: NAME=b,VALUE=val2; Location: http://www.w3.org; I am trying to do this using the code - setCookie("a","val1"); setCookie("b","val2"); header("Location: http://www.php.net"); With this control is going to the redirected page i.e http://www.php.net but the cookies are not getting set. But if I am ommiting the header statement, cookies are getting set. But I want to do both the things, i.e set cookie and redirect control to a new page. In what sequence the headers should be sent to achieve this ? I have read about the same problem in mailing list archives and other places. None of the places I can find a reliable way to do this. With the combination of above 3 statements, I feel cookies never reach the client at all(and the original HTTP response gets aborted) and header statement causes a new HTTP response to occur with fresh header and body which contain no cookies. Waiting for some response. best regards -mukul -------------------------------------------------------------- Bharti Cellular Limited, New Delhi, India
