This is most likely due to your malformed Location header. It requires an
absolute URL, and some browsers (notably several versions of IE, but there
may be others) do not send the proper Cookie header when requesting the
new URL if you use a relative one.
So, the first thing to try is using a proper Location header:
header('Location: http://example.org/success.php');
Hope that helps.
