Stupid PHP Cookie Problem

[redbrad0]

I know I must really be missing something but I can not seem to find it, so I am hoping someone will see what I am doing wrong.

 

In a common included file I have

if (!empty($_GET['referral']))	{
	setcookie("UserReferral", $_GET['referral'], time()+3600);
}

 

The on the next page I have

echo "<!-- UserReferral:" . $_COOKIE['UserReferral'] . " -->";

 

This does not return any data but I can confirm it is setting the cookie on the first page by adding the same code to return the cookie and it does display. Does anyone see a reason why it wouldn't display on the next page (and yes I have cookies enabled).

Because you write it in a HTML comment tag?

Look at the source of the page, it should be there...
