Cookies don't work....

[Anon]

I'm using IE 6.0, Apache2 and PHP 6.2
Although I set the security level in IE to the lowest one and enabled cookies, the listing:

setcookie("test","hello");
echo $test;

still returns: "Undefined variable: test";
Is there something I missed in the config files?

The cookie is set AFTER the script ends, which means that the cookie variable ($test) is going to be defined the NEXT time the script runs.

So, you can have:

setcookie("test","hello");
header("Location: page2");

and page2 (whatever it is) can say:
print $test;
// note that if register_globals is off, u'll need to use $_COOKIE['test']
