Cookies - Not sure what problem is!

Recommended Posts

I have a page that has a form. When the user enters their name and hits submit they go to another page where a cookie is set.  The problem is that the cookie is not available to that page.  I know the cookie is set, because if I close the browser and reopen and check the cookie all the info is there.

 

This is my code:

 

<? session_start();

 

if (!$_COOKIE["user"]) {

    $expiretime = 60 * 60 * 24 * 365 + time();

    setcookie("user", $_POST['name'], $expiretime);

}

 

echo $_COOKIE["user"];

 

Rest of Page

 

?>

 

The above gives me nothing, nor does any other reference to the cookie on the page.

 

If I close the browser and reopen and echo $_COOKIE["user"];, it is there. So it is being set, so why can't I access it as in the above code.

 

Note: I also have session_start(); at the top of the page as there are some session variables I need which don't need to be in the cookie.

 

Thanks
