Cookie in IF statement and header location problem

[irkevin]

Hi,

 

I have a problem that's occuring when using cookie in IF statement..

 

below is the code

 

	
if(isset($_COOKIE['login']) && $_COOKIE['login'] == '3'){
header('location:index.php');
}

 

When I run this, I get

 

The page isn't redirecting properly  

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
    *   This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept
          cookies.

 

Any Idea? it the same with all browsers. It's like a loop than never ends.. I don't understand why this is happening. My browser accepts COOKIES.

 

Can someone Help?

By any chance is the page your putting/using this code on called index.php?
