Coding Cookies in PHP

[Anon]

ok i went to www.php.net and got that i can use:

setcookie ("TestCookie", $value);

to set a cookie, but when i place this code in a "file.php" and load the file it wont make a cookie in my Cookies Folder on my computer!? WHY?

How do i have to write so that once a user enters the page (file.php) it automatically makes a cookie on the persons computer??

please help!!

If you don't set an expiry date, the cookie will only be retained in memory. So go back to php.net and see how to set the expiry date. Also, I don't think cookies are stored in a Cookies folder...IE stores them in a folder called "Temporary Internet Files" and Netscape 6.x has a Cookie Viewer, so use that...
