(SETCOOKIE) - Cookie not created in MSIE 5.5 ?

Server is Running Apache Client side is MS Win 2K with IE 5.5. Below is the code I set to create the cookie,I know it exists because I read it in the page below in the body : /* CODE TO READ COOKIE VALUE*/ /*...*/ $atimmo_cookie_id = $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["atimmo_cookie_id"]; echo "<p align=\"center\">$atimmo_cookie_id</p></div>"; /*...*/ And it gives me a value... /*Here's the code to set the cookie*/ /*...*/ <? if (!isset($atimmo_cookie_id)) { srand((double)microtime()*1000000); $randval = rand(); setcookie("atimmo_cookie_id",$randval,time()+14400000,"/",".atimmo.be",0); echo "<meta http-equiv=\"Refresh\" content=\"0\" url=\"./searchpage.php\">"; } header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT"); // Date in the past header("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT"); // always modified header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate"); // HTTP/1.1 header("Pragma: no-cache"); // HTTP/1.0 ?> /*...*/ This bit of code is , of course sent before anything on the page (right on top, no blanks, etc...) So, it reads the cookie alright... but I've done a complete search on the client system and I can't find it ! (have done a full search of the cookie name and it's value... nothing !) LOL.... this is drivin' me nuts ! Alain
