problem with a cookie

[supermanjnk]

edit: I figured out whats wrong, it's because i have a header right after the cookie, my new question is: is there anyway I can have it run one thing then something else?

if ($num!= "0") {
setcookie("dhananscookiehjj", $username, time()+86400);
header ("location: .../logout_form.php");
exit;
}

could i use:

if ($num!= "0") {
setcookie("dhananscookiehjj", $username, time()+86400);
}
while {
header ("location: .../logout_form.php");
exit;
}

or anything like that?

You can try using a meta refresh.

function redirect($url)
{
echo "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"4;URL=" . $url . "\">\n";
echo "Please wait....";
exit;
}

then:

if ($num!= "0") {
setcookie("dhananscookiehjj", $username, time()+86400);
redirect('somewhere.php');
}

How about doing the redirect, then checking for a cookie and writing a new one if there is none found:

===checks for valid login===
if ($num!= "0") {
header ("location: .../logout_form.php");
exit;
}

===on logout_form.php===
if (!$_COOKIE["dhananscookiehjj"]) {
setcookie("dhananscookiehjj", $username, time()+86400);
}
...then the rest of the page...
