header interfering w/setcookie

[knappn]

When I try to set a cookie and then redirect, the cookie doesn't get set. I am using Win2K server IIS 5. Please advise.

ex:
setcookie("var1","dog");;
header( "Location: test2.php" );

Thanks.

The excact code that you use above should work when you echo var1 in the next page.
On Apache Linux servers
Maybe you must pay attention to: "The expire argument is a regular Unix time integer as returned by the time() or mktime() functions." -www.php.net
Maybe Win2K or IIS 5 has a problem with it. Try to set the expire argument.

Thanx Rik. I tried adding the expire argument and it still doesn't set the cookie when I use the header. Is there another way to redirect?

this doesn't work:
setcookie ("var1", "dog",time()+36000, "", "", 0);
header( "Location: test2.php" );

this works:
setcookie ("var1", "dog",time()+36000, "", "", 0);
//header( "Location: test2.php" );
