Description:
------------
I'm using Windows NT4 with IIS4.0.
I have found that function setcookie() doesn't work (doesn't send cookie) , when header() function is called, somewhere after.
When I comment line with header() then it sends cookie to browser, but I'm not able to redirect user to another page.
I know, I can use <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=index.php"> but this is not best soultion.
System Windows NT WWW 4.0 build 1381

Reproduce code:
---------------
setcookie('BPKEY', "blah=blah", time()+$_CFG['cookie_lifetime'], '/', 'biznespolska.pl');
header( 'Location: index.php' );
Expected result:
----------------
It should set cookie named BPKEY, and redirect to page index.php
Actual result:
--------------
Only redirects to page index.php

Try this with Apache 1.3.28. And redirecting with 'Location:' needs full URL, not just the filename. e.g. header("Location: http://www.php.net/index.php");The problem here is actually not that PHP doesn't send the cookie (because it does). The problem here is that IIS ignores the value which is sent. Using the following script: <?php setcookie("foo", "bar"); header("Location: index.html"); ?> I see the following output by PHP to IIS: Status: 302 Content-type: text/html X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.2 Set-Cookie: foo=bar Location: index.html Then, using telnet to connect to IIS and making a request for that document I receive the response: HTTP/1.1 302 Object Moved Location: index.html Server: Microsoft-IIS/4.0 Content-Type: text/html Content-Length: 133 <head><title>Document Moved</title></head> <body><h1>Object Moved</h1>This document may be found <a HREF="index.html">here</a></body> As you can see, while PHP did its job of sending the cookie to IIS. IIS chose to "optimize it out" of the communication since the browser was being redirected. My suggested workaround for this is to do one of the following: (A): Implement your redirection using a <META> tag and/or a javascript command. (B): Pass your cookie value as a GET value and have your receiving page "reinforce" the cookie when it catches it. (i.e.: setcookie("foo",$_GET['foo']); on a page which does not redirect.)
