UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 6 V6 Modifications Archived Mods [6.2] My Cookies utility

On one windows box, for sure, cookies were not set when using the header("Location: "); redirect. One fix was to generate a transition page with a <meta> refresh tag. Using the header("Refresh: 0; URL= "); solution is easier and cleaner.

It was a windows machine causing the problem... go figure.

Anyhow... the others that have reported this utility as not working were having problems on windows boxes. (I do believe they all were but I could be wrong)

Is "Refresh" a valid HTTP header? If not, shouldn't echo() or print() be used instead of header()?

As far as I can tell, no it's not specified. I found some limited discussions on it's use but only as options against header/Location. I'm still going over the specifications though. Perhaps there is an additional header that can be sent with Location to get the same affect?

I'm also looking at the fact that no output is supposed to be sent before a header() call. This could be the reason the cookies are not being expired?

I guess I'll keep going over this but for now the header/Refresh does seem to work.
