On page 516 script 16.9: Line 20: setcookie (session .... //DESTROYS COOKIE This line destroys a cookie set earlier (that was set in login.php? or in the Header?)

Hello, I'm editing my previous post. Still much to learn in this chapter, but making my way through it. I was having a difficult time connecting each of the individual pages (e.g., login_page.inc.php, login.php, etc.). Great book though. K -
Probably a very silly question to a knowledgeable person, but still: I know nothing should be sent to a browser before header() is sent there. I also know that nothing should be sent to a browser before a cookie is set. What if I need a header AND a cookie on the same page? Would they interfere with each other?

For instance, don't set a cookie with the name of 'login' and the value of 'true' (instead a cookie named Samuel is set with a value of Clemens). But, because cookies are easily viewed once they are set, for example using firebug on firefox, it seems like this is not the best method for veirifying who has access to a site and who doesn't.
