Script execution continues after the header has been set Location:

(or any other call header()

, for that matter). If you want the redirect to be done immediately, without the rest of the script, return;

or die;

right after the call header()

.

Cookies are sent as part of the header. The entire header is evaluated (including the cookie setting) and then the browser redirects.

Try the following:

header('Location: ../');
exit();

The page (including your headers) is only sent after "everything" is done by your php (unless you tell it to stop working with die () or exit ());

You have error reporting disabled, which will help you deal with syntax error and should always be done in the dev environment.

ini_set('display_errors',1);
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

EDIT: There was a double semicolon syntax error, but seems to have been fixed

you also need to call exit()

after your header or script execution stops and the cookie is set
