setcookie() help

[FrostedFlakes1024]

For some reason I can not get this to work. Any thoughts?

 

        if( $row['password'] == $pass && $row['name'] == $user )
        {
          $username = $row['name'];
          $uid = $row['id'];
          setcookie("id", $uid, 1400); //creates the first session var
          setcookie("username", $username, 1400); // second session var
          setcookie("loggedin", "1", 1400);

          echo "<script type=\"text/javascript\">alert(\"".$row['name']."Logged in as ".$_COOKIE['username'].".\"); window.location=\"index.php?OMG=loggedin\"</script>";
        }

 

I get a message box saying: "[username] Logged in as ."

I've searched php.ini for corrupt cookie settings, nothing unusual.

1. cookies are read from the header

2. setting cookie goes into the header (hence before any output)

3. expire is a unix DATE & time (not just seconds)

if( $row['password'] == $pass && $row['name'] == $user )
        {
          $username = $row['name'];
          $uid = $row['id'];
          setcookie("id", $uid, time()+1400); //creates the first session var
          setcookie("username", $username, time()+1400); // second session var
          setcookie("loggedin", "1", time()+1400);
//Cookie won't be set visible until a the header loads (next page)
          echo "<script type=\"text/javascript\">alert(\"".$row['name']."Logged in as ".$username.".\"); window.location=\"index.php?OMG=loggedin\"</script>";
        }
