Bug description: setcookie doesn't seem to work
Description:
------------
The setcookie function call as expected was supposed to set a desired
cookie. However due to the presence of a header function immediately after
the setcookie call, the setcookie function fails to set the cookie. I was
using the header function as a means of redirection. I managed to solve
the problrm using a meta refresh but am intrifued as to why setcookie
failed to perform its role. I've checked the return value for setcookie,
it returns a "true" value.
Reproduce code:
---------------
if(empty($_COOKIE['id']){
//set cookie for 24 hours
setcookie("id",123,time()+60*60*24);
header("Location: redirpage.php");
}else{
header("Location: mainpage.php");
}
Expected result:
----------------
After checking for the cookie and setting it the code should redirect to
redirpage.php. It redirects alright, but does not set the cookie.
