What I mean is I cannot use setcookie, I need to check if user credentials are correct first (which is BEFORE setcookie) and if so, set a cookie.

Furthermore I cannot use setcookie in the header as I want to display a message saying that they have successfully logged in in the correct area of my template. 2008/10/11 Per Jessen <per@xxxxxxxxxxxx> > Ben Stones wrote: > > > I'm using cookies for my website script and upon users logging in a > > cookie is set.
