New Comment:
Not to sound offensive, have you actually tried it?
I've pasted exactly what you just sent back to me, and it wont go.
There have been many comments in the newsgroups and the function page itself about this issue ...
people are having to put quotations around the time aspect in order to get it to work at all, and
according to you, that would set the value to zero right?
-> cookie.php
<?php
setcookie ('CookieName', 'CookieValue', time()+7200);
header ("Location: cookie2.php");
?>
-> cookie2.php
<?php
$cookie = $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[CookieName];
echo $cookie;
?>
that's exactly the test script i'm using.
Is there anything wrong with the above?

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
(php-general@lists.php.net).

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.
