cookie test returning confusing results in IE

[sneakyimp]

i wrote a cookie test page:

<?php
error_reporting (E_ALL ^ E_WARNING ^ E_NOTICE);

// Check if cookie has been set or not
if ($_GET['set'] != 'yes') {
  // Set cookie
  $expires = time() + 60;
  setcookie('jta', '1', $expires, '/', '.myplan.com');

  // Reload page
  header ("Location: " . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . "?set=yes");
  exit();
} else {
  // Check if cookie exists
  if (!empty($_COOKIE['jta'])) {
    echo "Cookies are enabled on your browser<br>";
  } else {
    echo "Cookies are NOT enabled on your browser<br>";
  }
  echo nl2br(print_r($_COOKIE, true));

}
?>

i visited in IE and got this:

Cookies are NOT enabled on your browser
Array
(
[c_major] => 1
[c_note] => 1
[c_report] => 0
[c_college] => 1
[c_career] => 1
[phpbb2mysql_data] => a:2:{s:11:\"autologinid\";s:0:\"\";s:6:\"userid\";s:1:\"3\";}
)

Cookies do in fact seem to be working and yet my cookie test is failing. can anyone explain this? it works fine in Firefox. you can try it yourself here:

try to check your 'set' variable value first
if still not work

try to use $set instead $get['set'] and $jta instead $cookie['jta']

if that is still not work

check ur IE option under privacy tab, be sure to set IE to accept cookie from website and not blocked it

the value of $_GET['set'] is being returned just fine. this is not the problem.
