Can't set cookies or read them. Please help!

[fteng]

I can't set cookies or read them properly. I have a page setup like this: test.php

<?

echo $_COOKIE[abc];

$temp = "abc";
$val = "1234";
setcookie($temp, $val, time()+3600);

?>

When I reload the page, it's blank. The server is using version 4.2.2 under Linux webdev 2.4.18 #1 Apache

Does your browser have cookies turned off ?

I think the problem is you're missing quotes around the cookie name. Try 'echo $_COOKIE["abc"];' and see if you have better luck. My guess is that the cookie is getting set correctly but because of the problem I mentioned first it can't be read.

It seems to be working fine here at work. I bet my browser cached the cookies file at home and that's why i wasn't getting anything. Thanks for your help.
