setcookie() and header() functions?

[jstrybis]

hello,

i seem to be having a problem with the following functions in sequence.

a little background:
i am running IIS and PHP 4 on my home pc and testing scripts there, no problems.

i then upload my script to a windows 2000 server with PHP 4 and they don't seem to work.

could this be due to me having IIS 6 at home and only IIS 5 on the webserver?

anyways, here's the problem: i'm trying to set a few cookies, then redirect the script to another page using the header() function. it works fine on this pc, but when i upload, the cookies don't get set! I've read (i believe here after searching a while) that the setcookie() functions don't work if they're followed by a header() function.

is there any way to fix this?
thanks,
jay

I use this when using setcookie() functions

echo "<META HTTP-EQUIV='refresh' CONTENT='0; URL=page_name.php'>";

works the same as header()
