Re: [PHP4BETA] cookie, post method form, cycling background From: Christian Wenz (christian.wenz <email protected>)

Hi,

I think the problem is that you set the cookie _on the client's browser_
when the new page is loaded - however when you access cookies you access the
data that is sent _from the client's browser_ to the server, and the new
cookie is only sent to the browser the next time a page is requested from
the server.
A workaround would be to use another page for setting the cookie and then
redirecting the user to the counter page.

Regards
Christian
