if (!$COOKIE['mina']) {
echo "there is no such a cookie";
}else {
echo "there is a cookie ";
}
echo $COOKIE[mina];
?>

so could any body help me to set my cookie

You cannot read the cookie on the same page as it is set. You would have to reload the page before $_COOKIE is populated.
Also, try setting the 4th argument ("/") to use the default ("") by sending an empty string.

Thankfully though, you do not need to read the cookie value since you already know it in order to set it.

Well of course not, but the OP is just wanting to easily verify it was assigned without checking his browser cookies. Nothing wrong with checking your work.
