cookie not getting set

[cneeds]

Hi

I'm setting a cookie at the top of fileA.php:

<?php
setcookie('client_internal_ID', $_GET['client_internal_ID'], 0, "/");

fileA.php calls fileB.php with:

    <form name="AADform" method="post" id="userform" action="fileB.php">

When I retrieve 'client_internal_ID' from $_COOKIE it has a value that it was set to a few days ago. Does anybody have an idea of what I've broken?

Here is the code in fileB.php:

echo("client_internal_ID=".$_COOKIE['client_internal_ID']);

Cookie values are not available until after the next page load, therefore you'll get whatever the previous value was until you refresh, or use a redirect, or navigate to another page on the site, etc.

Does clicking the form's submit button cause a page load? It seems to have done everywhere else I'm using cookies.

Maybe it's a name thing? Can $GET['client_internal_ID'] and $COOKIE['client_internal_ID'] exist at the same time?
