cookies

[Sam]

I can't get cookies working for me in this script... I check in firefox's list, and the cookie is definately being set, so I'd bet that the problem is being caused by the $_COOKIE line... heres my code:

<?php
$ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$poster=$_POST['name'];
$message=htmlspecialchars($_POST['msg']);
$message=preg_replace("/\n/","<br />",$message);
if(isset($_COOKIE['antispam'])){
    header("Location:http://www.samingle.com/newtag/timeout.php");
}
else{
    setcookie("antispam", "true", time()+60);
}
if(strlen(trim($poster))>1&&strlen(trim($message))>0)
{
$file=getcwd() . "/tags.php";
$handle=fopen($file,"r");
$string=fread($handle,filesize($file));
fclose($handle);
$string="<span class=\"poster\">" . $poster . ": </span>" . "<span class=\"message\">" . $message . "</span><br />\n" . $string;
$handle = fopen($file,"w");
fwrite($handle,$string);
fclose($handle);
$file=getcwd() . "/aoiahsdnnvasaovcah.dat";
$handle=fopen($file,"r");
$ips=fread($handle,filesize($file));
fclose($handle);
$handle = fopen($file,"w");
fwrite($handle,$ip . " | " . $poster . " | " . $message . "\n" . $ips);
fclose($handle);
}
header("Location:" . $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);
?>

are you sure somethings wrong with the cookie?

I simplified the cookie part of your script down to this:

<?php

if(isset($_COOKIE['antispam'])){
    echo "cookie is set";
}
else{
    setcookie("antispam", "true", time()+60);
    echo "cookie wasn't set, but it is now set";
}

?>

and it works just fine for me.

Ah, I figured out the problem, I forgot my exit() after the header in the cookies if statement... thanks for your help cheat...
