Nothing is too advanced for this newgroup and there is not other better. I
did not read your problem very carefully, but I think you are trying to set
a cookie on a page that does a redirect, that is just impossible unless you
do the redirect with a meta tag on the client.
Anyway, if that suggestion doesn't do it for you, I once used the following
function to set cookies and it worked for me:
function MySetCookie
($CkyName, $CkyVal, $exp, $pth, $Domain)
{
$exp = strftime("%A, %d-%b-%Y %H:%M:%S", $exp);
$cookiestr = sprintf ("%s=%s; domain=%s; path=%s; expires=%s",
$CkyName, $CkyVal, $Domain, $pth, $exp);
$mycky = (isset($mycky) ? "$mycky\n" : "")."Set-Cookie: $cookiestr";
header($mycky);
}
Cheers,
Diego
