RE: [PHP-WIN] newbie cookie question

I modified the setcookie as follows: setcookie("cookie_user", $form_user_id, time()+3600, "", "",0); Viewing the cookie file after doing so displays the cookie in question, yet when I try and echo $cookie_user I get nada. If I issue print_r ($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS); If I further modify setcookie and input a path and domain, the cookie is not created. I just end up with "array()" as the output. Are there perhaps some directives I need to change in the php.ini file?
