I'm not sure how this would matter since the cookie is never set at all.. it's not an issue of it reading the cookie, as it can't read what is never set. I'll give it a shot when I get home though anyway.

I believe this has something to do with the fact that the HTTP response status code is no longer a 200 when you send a Location header, as PHP will automatically change it to a 302 for you. Thus, in some browsers, the result is that the browser will submit a GET request for the URL identified in the Location header, but it will ignore the HTTP headers sent in the 302 response. To see if this is in fact the trouble with Netscape 4.x, try using a meta tag redirect instead. Even though the W3C dislikes this use of http-equiv, it is very consistently supported, and I know many Web sites that use it (SourceForge, for example). Good luck.
