cookies and redirection

[mr_zog]

I have a script that sets a cookie and then redirects the user to another page. I am having a problem though. The script runs and redirects but seems to not set the cookie. It is almost like the redirect runs to fast. I know that sounds silly but if I take out the redirect and have the page display a link instead - no problem. Maybe I am doing somthing wrong.

Here is the code:

				$expire=time()+86400;
	    $value="blah";
	    setcookie("cookie",$value,$expire);
	    header("Location: redirect.php");
        exit;

Haven't used cookies too much, but I don't know that you can set a cookie on a page that never really loads. You have your header set to redirect, so that page never really loads.

Check on it though, because I'm not 100% sure
