note 35107 rejected from function.setcookie by didou

Note Submitter: erik_neves@hotmail.com ---- The manual states that "cookies will not become visible until the next loading of a page that the cookie should be visible for", but there's a way around this that doesn't require a refresh. Just set the $_COOKIE variable right after you setcookie(). $lang = 'pt-br'; setcookie('lang', $lang); $_COOKIE['lang'] = $lang; The reason for this is that $_COOKIE is automatically set only when the page loads, but setting it explicitely makes the new cookie value available globally even for the same page that created it.
