[RESOLVED] Cookie not setting

Square1

Hi all:

Trying to set a cookie with no luck..

<?php
	session_start();
	setcookie("virgin", "No", time()+3600); 
?>

It is at the very top of the page. I close out the browser. I open a new page with
echo $_COOKIE["virgin"] on it and nothing appears.

Thanks!

Is session_start() present on the second page as well?

Is your browser set to keep cookies until they expire or until you close the browser?

Keep in mind that session_start() isn't really relevant to setcookie(). Sessions use cookies, but cookies don't need sessions.

Until they expire. I am currently using cookies just fine with PHP (and ASP)

I am setting a session on that page as well as setting a cookie. I just showed both in case there was a hierarchy of placement on the page.

Okay; so is the session being retained (not when the browser is closed and opened, of course)? Have you tried setting them the other way around? Does the browser itself have any cookies set?

setcookie("virgin", "No", time()+3600, "/"); is the answer. I am am moving between folders.

Thank you!
