It sounds like you need to set the expiration date for the cookie. Try this:
setcookie("tekka_p","HOWDY_DOO",time() + 86400);
This would set the cookie's expiration date to one day from the time it is set.
If you have the time period for the cookie declared in a variable make sure that it is valid for the
current scope. I had time()+$cookie_period but $cookie_period was Null in that scope so my cookies
were set and then immediately vanished.
Those cookies did not taste good at all. Kinda Cement + Chocolate Chip. Icky.
