Set PHP Cookies and redirect

  • I am trying to set a cookie only when someone goes to a particular page. So that after that the user will always be directed to that page even if they type in the homepage (the home page is only a squeeze page where they sign up)

    I am using the headway them an have been having a real problem trying to get this to work.

    I am note sure where to place the code because, setcookie() defines a cookie to be sent along with the rest of the HTTP headers. Like other headers, cookies must be sent before any output from your script this is a protocol restriction. This requires that you place calls to this function prior to any output,including <html> and <head> tags as well as any whitespace.

    I am a real noob at this so sorry if I am being unclear.

    <?php
if ( is_page( 8 ))
      setcookie("reg_user", time()+60*60*24*365);

if (isset ($_COOKIE['reg_user']))
  header ("Location: https://surveygroupie.com");
else
  header ("Location: https://surveygroupie.com/member-area");
?>

    Thanks for the help.
