I'm using this code in 3 pages
in Page 1:
<form name="frm1" method="post">
<input type="password" size=20><input type="submit">
</form>

in page2:
if ($password == "mypassword") {
  setcookie("user", "admin");
  header("location: page3.php");
}

in page3:
echo $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["user"];

i'm using NT4 with iis4. My problem is that the cookie is not set, instead of header("location: page3.php") i used this echo "<META HTTP-EQUIV=\"Refresh\" CONTENT=\"0;URL=page3.php\">"; and then i could get cookie value! this problem is only under iis4/iis5 under apache (not windows only unix) i didn't have any problems

I'm using PHP 4.11 with Apache under NT 4 SP5.
I have exactly the same problem.

Note : When I use Apache + PHP 411 under WIN98, all working fine.

I'm using PHP 4.2.0 with Apache 1.3.24 under NT 4 SP6.
I have exactly the same problem.
I have reported this bug a while ago and nothing happend.

Same here, with IIS 5.0 under W2K.

Cant't use setcookie() and header() together.

Using echo "<META HTTP-EQUIV=\"Refresh\" CONTENT=\"0;URL=page3.php\">" instead of header() solves the problem.

For me it, isn't working on:
Win2k SP2 - IIS 5.0 - PHP 4.1.0 and 4.2.1

and working fine under:
Win2k SP2 - Apache 1.3.24 - PHP 4.2.0 and 4.2.1

I was also using setcookie() and header() together. But kiernicki@swipnet.se slotution works fine.

I have the same issue for both Win & Linux platforms, following recent upgrades to 4.1.2. If I remove any header() statements I'm fine.

Bizarrely, only *some* clients seem affected on the Linux platform, with no obvious browser / OS pattern.

i have the same problem in IIS 4.0 + Windows NT 4.0 build 1381 and my PHP version 4.2.3
 [2002-10-22 13:06 UTC] hholzgra@php.net 
most browsers seem to ignore *any* header besides
Location: when they get a 3041/302/303/307 redirect status 

not a PHP problem

i don't want to add a link to M$ but i'm detected that the problen in Windoze is in the IIS how you can view in their website, search for the bug Q176113 in M$ bug database and you can see the problem ,unfourten..lly  the problem can be resolved for ( IIS 3.0 ,4.0 ,5.0 )

maybe anyone can suggest any solve to this problem
 [2002-10-22 17:17 UTC] hholzgra@php.net 
you are talking about 
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q176113&
and no, this is *not* the problem here

headers *are* sent at least with apache (verified using ethereal), but at least mozilla and netscape 4.x
ignore any headers beside Location as i already said
(can't check IE right know but i'm pretty sure it does
the same)

PS: thank you for *not* posting the MSDN URL; took
me only about 15min to find the reference to it as
a non-reqular MSDN user :(
