Bug description:setcookie() uses second parameter as name (first param)

Description:
------------
If you use the script provided in "Test script" section, you''ll set a
new cookie with the name "value" and an empty value. That seems to be a
false behavior, the name of the cookie is required[1] and php should
throw a fatal error, if an empty name is provided.

[1] http://php.net/manual/de/function.setcookie.php

Test script:
---------------
setcookie('', 'value', time()+10);
var_dump($_COOKIE);

Expected result:
----------------
Warning/Fatal error

Actual result:
--------------
A new cookie set with "value" as "name"
