Cookie problem

Hi.
This is a part of a form I'm using:

<?php
if($sentmessage == '3'){
echo "You have already posted 3 times!";
exit();
}else{
$num = $sentmessage + 1;
setcookie("sent message","$num" ,time()+600);
}

if ($submit) {

// process form
// I want the cookie to increase its value at this point not by updating
the page
$db=mysql_conne ct ("localhost" , "***", "****") or die ('I cannot connect
to the database because: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ("****");

mysql_select_db ("mydb",$db) ;
$today = date("F j, Y, G:i");
$name = html_entity_dec ode(strip_tags( $navn));
$email = html_entity_dec ode(strip_tags( $epost));
$phone = html_entity_dec ode(strip_tags( $telefon));
$sn1 = html_entity_dec ode(strip_tags( $sn1));

I need the cookie to run after submitting, or after this code:

if ($submit) {
// process form

The problem now is that the cookie is increasing the value for
one update, not by submitting.

Regards,
Reffo

And do not multipost. Crosspost, if you must.
