My php script creates an array of cookies. I know this because I print them on the screen. Unfortunately, when I click on a different page the cookies are not registering. I try to print the array and nothings shows. I do not get any errors. What should I do?

Setting Cookies after Sign Up (I removed all the echo with comment marts to prevent html from forming. It works and generates the array of cookies that should be created.)

Calling setcookie() does not make the values appear in $_COOKIE automatically. They'll take effect on the next page load.

If you need them immediately then you can make your own setcookie()-type function which calls setcookie() and also sets the value in $_COOKIE, like

function savecookie($name, $value, $expire = 0, $path = null, $domain = null, $secure = false, $httponly = false) {
    if (setcookie($name, $value, $expire, $path, $domain, $secure, $httponly)) {
        if ($value === false || $expire < time()) {
            unset($_COOKIE[$name]);
        } else {
            $_COOKIE[$name] = $value;
        }
        return true;
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}
