Setting cookie + redirecting

[vanpoeck]

Hello,

Could anyone explain me why this will set a cookie:

<---------------- SNIP ---------------->
setcookie('cktest','tralala',(time()+2592000),'/','',0);
</--------------- SNIP ---------------->

and this won't:
<---------------- SNIP ---------------->
setcookie('cktest','tralala',(time()+2592000),'/','',0);
header("Location: ".$PHP_SELF."?CCHK=1");
</--------------- SNIP ---------------->

Please ?

Thx,
Steven

I think it maybe because your setting a cookie which may need the headers already sent, and then your trying to re-send the headers again which won't work.
