Cookies help

[mill]

I use to use this to set / call the cookies and it worked fine, but when i changed my server it stopped working

<?php
if ($username == NULL) {
  $username = $usercook;
  $password = $passcook;
}
setcookie("usercook", "$username");
setcookie("passcook", "$password");
?>

 

Now it stopped working any idea how to fix this?

update to

<?php

if ($username == NULL) {
  $username = $_COOKIE['usercook'];
  $password = $_COOKIE['passcook'];
}
setcookie("usercook", "$username");
setcookie("passcook", "$password");
?>

You should NEVER store usernames / passwords in cookies - they can easily be spied upon!!!!!!
