Mike IIRC this is a known bug with IIS (not PHP) when it gets the http redirect it junks the cookie - sorry I can't remember much more detail than that... Workaround maybe is to spit out an HTML based META refresh redirect tag instead of using the header() call. HTH Rich

HELP! I know I'm new at this so please don't laugh. But I can't get this to work! I am using Microsoft IIS with the latest PHP installed. Here's a smple: . . . setcookie("testCookie", "testValue", time() + 3600, "/"); header("Location: http://newpage.php"); exit; Later, I pull the cookie: echo $_COOKIE["testCookie"]; and there is no value. If I don't use the header function at the end, and write something to the page, it works fine. Why does this cookie not get set? Thanks a ton!
