Re: setcookie then redirect + Answer

Read your data from $_COOKIE not $_COOKIES. David Busby wrote:

List,

    I'm trying to set a cookie like this:

<?php function redirect() {

    if ($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']) {
        $to = func_get_arg(0);
        header("HTTP/1.1 301\n");
        header("Location:http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$to."\n");
        header("Set-Cookie: sid=$sid;\n\n");
        exit();
    }

} function login() {

    [... validation code here ...]
    // set my cookie
    setcookie("sid", $sid);
    return true;

} if (login($token) == true) {

    redirect("/somepage.php");

} ?> but this thing isn't working...seems like it's not writing the SID value in the cookie. In other code (on /somepage.php for example) when I read the cookie value ($_COOKIES['sid']) it can't find it. Ideas? So how do I set cookies then redirect? I'm using Apache 1.3.x, PHP 4.1.2, RH7.3 TIA /B
