HELP with the setcookie function

[Anon]

Hi!
I work under IE5 browser and i use php4.I just want to set a cookie the simplest way with :

setcookie("cookieid", $sender[id],(time()+3600) 24 365);

This should work.I tried several options but i can't retrieve any cookie.I got no error.But with two refresh , just NO COOKIES.
I 'm being hungry now.

Thanks

IMHO if you didn't specify path, and tried to retrieve cookie value from another page, you'll fail - then you have to set cookie to root - see setcookie() function and comments

Thanks for your help.I found my error. It was that i wasn't setting the cookie value before i made the setcookie.I understood that each time i want to use a cookie i have to call the setcookie function because the cookie exists only after one refresh.

My code looks like :

if(!$mycookie)
$mycookie = $sender[id];

   setcookie("mycookie",$mycookie,time()+100000);

And it works in both browsers.
