server problems?

[ayushchd]

<? session_start();

if ($act == "reset" && $value =="") {
if (!isset($_COOKIE['user'])) {
header ("location:index.php");
} else{
"else part";

This code works well on my localhost bt when i run it on the server, it always redirects me to index.php, even when the cookie is set.

the syntax looks rihgt to me, except for the $act=="reset" (i usually use if(strcasecmp($act, "reset")==0){} for strings comparison ), but even so, the header() shouldnt get executed. try printing our your cookie, seems like it is set somewhere

you may not be testing for the right thing, how do you set the cookie?

or are you testing a session cookie?
