setcookie ('CookieName', 'CookieValue', time()+7200);
works. If not you're doing something wrong.
This is NOT a bug in PHP. Ask further support-questions on the appropriate mailinglist

Setting a pre-defined value for the time aspect works, however ... just to let you guys know, if you
put
setcookie ($mycookie, $myvalue, time()+7200);
on my box, and several others that we use, it wont set that cookie!!
fyi :)
thanks for your help

yes there are quotes in the line.
If you remove the quotes, the cookie doesn't initialize at all. Should we be assigning a
variable there instead for example :
$mytime = time() + 7200;
setcookie ("coookiename", "cookievalue", $mytime); ?
There have been tones of posts in your setcookie function information about the cookie not working
at all if you do not put the "" in there.

setcookie ("myCookie","Blah","time()+7201");
^ ^
do you realy have quotes here?
-> "time()+7201" as a string would evaluate
as zero, so deleting the ccokie instead
of setting it
