redirect if cookie exist

[zumone]

in admin.php

if (isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['admin'])) {
	if (!headers_sent()) {
		header("Location: admin.php?id=menu");
		exit;
	}
}

why doesnt that work? the page just keep loading forever...
if i change admin.php?id=menu to index.php, it works.

I'd say it's more than likely a problem with admin.php

Could you post the code for that?

if (isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['admin'])) {
	if (!headers_sent()) {
		header("Location: admin.php?id=menu");
		exit;
	}
}
elseif ($adminpw == "***") {
	if ($id == "setcookie") {
		setcookie("***");
		if (!headers_sent()) {
			header("Location: admin.php?id=menu");
			exit;
		}
	}
}
else {
	echo "<form action=\"admin.php?id=setcookie\" method=post>\n";
	echo "<table width=200 border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0>\n";
	echo "<tr>\n<td height=23 align=left valign=middle>Password: </td><td align=left valign=middle><input type=password name=adminpw></td>\n</tr>\n";
	echo "<tr>\n<td height=23></td>\n<td align=left valign=middle><input type=submit value=\" Enter\"></td>\n</tr>\n</table>\n</form>";
}

Okay, so let me get this straight. If you hit admin.php, it looks to see if your admin cookie is set. If it is, then you're redirected to admin.php?id=menu where it checks to see if your admin cookie is set. If it is, then you're redirected to admin.php?id=menu...?
