header(); & setcookie();

[Anon]

I'm developing a login script. when a user enters the correct username and password, a cookie is set using setcookie(name, value time);, then header(location: restricted area.php); is called to redirect the authorized user.
unfortunetly, calling header(); after setcookie(); deletes the cookie so when I check for a cookie on the restricted page it doesn't find it.
any ideas on how to get around this? perhaps sending a cookie in the header with the location-redirection.
thanks,
josh

i want to use header in my login page

please send me how to do that in case like

if uid=true area1.php
else area2.php

[Anon]

login page: login.php (name and psswd)
messages page: message.php
main page(when login is success): main.php

so the code will look like:

if(($name="valueA") and ($passwd="valueB"))
{
// log to the main page
header("location: main.php");
}
else
{
// go to the message page with an
// argument like msg
$msg = "error on log...back";
header("location: mesages.php?m=$msg");
}

that's it. But it really dpends on what you want to do....bye
