<?php

setcookie("dede","1");

if(!empty($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["dede"]))
print("i saw the cookie");
else
print("i did not see any cookie");

?>

when i first run this it gives the mesage "i did not see any cookie" but after refreshing the pag it gives the message "i saw the cookie". how can i see a cookie without refreshing the page???

the answer is in your question itself.. you are saying when you refresh the page it shows 'I saw the cookie' ..

Yeah it should because the moment you run this page for the first time it sets the cookie and if this page will refresh it will read it .. simple..
