Still fighting setcookie

OK, I created this most simplistic script.. ---- Begin Script------------------------------------------- <?php if(isset($value)) { setcookie("mycookie",$value); } define (Login, 0); define (DataReturn, 1); function login() { echo "<form ACTION=\"$_SERVER[PHP_SELF]?action=1\" METHOD=\"post\" ENCTYPE=\"multipart/form-data\">"; echo "Type value: <input name=\"value\" type=\"text\">"; echo "<input name=\"submit\" type=\"submit\">"; echo "</form>"; } function datareturn(){ print_r($_COOKIE); echo " is the \$_COOKIE data"; } if (empty ($action))

      $action = 0;

switch ($action) { case Login: login(); break; case DataReturn:

      datareturn();
      break;

default:

      die ("Unknown action code ($action)");

} ?> ----End Script------------------------ I would expect the return on action=1 to report the set cookie, but instead, it has no data. If I then reload the browser, the cookie appears. How can I get the cookie to set without this reload? What am I missing? Thanks a bunch... John Hinton
