The third variable in a cookie is a time variable. In your example, you are setting a cookie for exactly 0 seconds, which isn't very much of course. Try using the value 3600 there (= 1 hour) and see how it goes then.

Well, I changed that, but it still fails

<div>
Move:<br />
<br />
print_r($_COOKIE);<br />
<br />
to AFTER trying to set a cookie.

Move:

print_r($_COOKIE);

to AFTER trying to set a cookie.

<div>
it prints out FAILED when it does not work... there is no need to move that. You can also just hit refresh.... because if it did store it in a cookie, it would display the value.
