give this a whirl

<?
if ($MODE!=="test")
{ 
	setcookie("COOKIE", "VALUE");
	header("Location: " . $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] . "?MODE=test"); 
    die();
}
else if ($_COOKIE['COOKIE'] == "VALUE")
{
	echo "Cookies are enabled"; 
}
else
{
	echo "Cookies are disabled"; 
}
?>

But it dosn't work, It behaves like a session variable, means only when I close the browser and run it again cookie variable is deleted and I can't delete it with heder and ect🙁

there isn't another way?🙁

yes, it works, but it isn't specifying a domain, actually setting an expire time or anything of that sort, you only asked if you could check to see if someone has them enabled or not...

and that is what that little script does...checks, if you had them disabled, you would have gotten the other message, cookies are disabled...

I checked that script with enabled and disabled cookies in my browser, but the result of both was: Cookies are enabled,believe that.
I'm very confused, Help me please.

well i'm not sure, i've used this on many platforms, with many browsers and it always works for me

all it does it try and set a cookie and then check to see if there is a value for the cookie if there is, it will say so...

i don't think/know... but maybe you aren't turning your cookies fully off... you can't just turn them to prompt/ask for each...
