This can be caused by a lot of different things. As a general rule, use every parameters, even if you don't need them all or know what they are. Also, make sure you send the correct domain. Some browsers wont accept cookies form a domain other than that specified in the header.

Oki, but when im writing I'm using localhost should I only use "localhost" then ? Man, I have read all hreads on phpbuilder and some over at php.net, and I have tried all possible ways including header, diffrent date-stamps wiht or without GMT still nu success though =(

When I testing to see if it's working Live, it works with all parameters set, but for my friends with Linux/FreeBSD systems with NS get this:

X11
Warning: Oops, php3_SetCookie called after header has been sent in /home/sleepy/public_html/index.php3 on line 738

And that code is:

if(!isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["Counted"]))
{
HitHist($HTTP_USER_AGENT, $REMOTE_ADDR);
Hits("add");
SetCookie("Counted", "1", time()+86400, "/", "sleepy.linc-up.com", 0);
}

Those other functions there don't print anything and all code above that is just alot of functions and code below is the site design, goes something like this:

print("\n");
print("<head>\n");
...........

So I don't se why the header is already set In NS when it comes to creating the cookie..

jeez, what a big problem this turned out to be...

A lot of people get the "header already sent" error because they have some white space in their php file before the code. Makes sure the opening of your php tag is the very first character in your php script. You can't have any carriage returns or spaces before it. If not, apache will send that white space to the browser with a header.
