php symantics of setting cookies and redirecting without getting header error
- by salmane
I would like to do the following in php :
setcookie('name', $value, $Cookie_Expiration,'/');
then some action
header("location:http://www.example.com")
the problem is that I get :
warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (...etc )
could you please let me know what i am doing wrong and if there is a way to do this?
by the way , this code is before any output is made ...the cookie setting part works fine on its own and so does the redirection code....the combination fails
thank you
