Here is the problem in a nut shell:

I am setting a cookie after logging in. This works fine. But if I try to redirect right after the cookie doesn’t get set.

```php

                $day=(86400 + time());
                setcookie('AccountType', $accountType, $day,'/');
                setcookie('CustomerID', $newcID, $day,'/');
                header('Location: ../products/');

```

Any Ideas?
