setcookie and header

[anakadote]

I'm experiencing a weird issue where if I use setcookie() and then use header('Location: ...') the page redirect happens but the URL does not change. The page I redirect to also thinks it's in the same directory as the starting page. So it's behaving more like include(). Any ideas?

code? or i could guess wildly if you prefer?

Sorry, I didn't think it was necessary:

setcookie('homepage', 'buy', time()+60*60*24*365);
header('Location: /buy/');
exit;

I should just post the whole chunk:

if(!isset($_COOKIE['homepage'])){
		$rand = rand(0, 1);
		if($rand == 0){
			setcookie('homepage', 'home', time()+60*60*24*365);
		} else {
			setcookie('homepage', 'buy', time()+60*60*24*365);
			header('Location: /buy/');
			exit;
		}
	} else {
		if($_COOKIE['homepage'] == 'buy'){
			header('Location: /buy/');
			exit;
		}
	}

You probably need to set the path portion of the cookie.
