printing contents of a cookie

[willsmith]

Hi all, im having problems with some script, just tryin to get the fundementals of cookies working, been on it all night and no joy. if i can get this to work, then i can move onto more complicated things

setcookie.php:

<?php
setcookie("username","will is a god at PHP");
header('Location: printcookie.php');
?>

printcookie.php:

<?php
$username = $HTTP_POST_COOKIE['username'];
echo ($username);
?>

nothing prints out on the printcookie.php page, any ideas?

use either > 4.1 $_COOKIE or < 4.1 $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS not $HTTP_POST_COOKIE
