note 49783 added to function.setcookie

Needed some help with my cookies. I have one script that loads in almost every file. It just has basic functions i use in every file. One function is to login. It sets a cookie, session_id and some session variables. I check the cookie before i leave the page and it reads it, once the Header command loads the next page the cookie is no longer there (using the print_r thing to see a available cookies). Any ideas what I am doing wrong? ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+49783 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49783&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49783&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49783&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49783&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49783&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+49783&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
