Re: Cookies and Headers

IE can't handle Set-Cookie and Location headers in one file. What it'll do is that as soon as it sees the location header, it'll immediately go to that location and skip any other content (including the cookie header). I solved this problem by using a Refresh tag instead of Location. Set-Cookie: blah=suck Refresh: 0; index2.php The browser will read the cookie and then try to go to index2.php as soon as possible. -- On Wed, 12 Jul 2000 10:24:31 Chris Noble wrote: >I've been running into a bit of a problem with using setcookie and header >Location.
