setcookie will not accept time value

[Anon]

i'm having trouble setting cookies..

if i just set a cookie without a time value:
<?
setcookie("user","mike");
?>

the cookie's work fine.. but when i add a time value:
<?
setcookie("user","mike",time()+3600);
?>

the cookie does not set .. i've used the same code on a win2k server running php and the cookie sets fine with the time value.. is there anything i'm missing?

Try using this format...

$id="$user_id"; //$user_id is pulled from db

$exp["cookielife"] = 14400;
$expire=time()+$exp["cookielife"];
setcookie("id","$id",$expire,"/","");

I had the same problem...kinda
