Bug #4124 Updated: cookies and headers dont mix

ID: 4124 User Update by: tim.nelson@mindspring.com Status: Closed Bug Type: Misbehaving function Description: cookies and headers dont mix problem... there is a "bug" with IIS from microsoft support on Microsoft Internet Information Server versions 3.0, 4.0 BUG: Set-Cookie Is Ignored in CGI When Combined With Location http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q176/1/13.ASP?LNG=ENG&SA=ALLKB&FR=0 work around... step 1) prefix name of PHP file with "nph-" as in nph-mypage.php3 step 2) the nph- prefix tells IIS to not process the headers, so you must build all the headers yourself. Since we want to redirect and set cookies at the same time, the PHP looks like... header("HTTP/1.0 302 Redirect"); header("Location: wherever.php3"); setcookie("name","value", $lifetime); // Not so simple. Thanks to Patrick for pointing me (although cryptically) in the right direction. Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=4124
