checking if a cookie exsits

Anon

I need to check if a cookie exsits. I placed the cookie erlyer. I do not know what happens If I call on its information and its timmer runs out. I am guess It will send a error to the user.

i want to check if the cookie exists before i do anything else.

First:

Cookies must be sent before any other headers are sent.

index.php
---- CODE ----
<?
$User = "Felipe";
setcookie ("Name", "$User", time() + 3600);
//3600 seconds = 1 hour
?>

<body>
.<br>
HI<br>
.<br>
</body>
---- CODE ----

Test.php
---- CODE ----
<?
if (isset($User)){
print "OK";
} else {
print "Not";
}?>
