setcookie help

Hi all, having a bit of a problem with the setcookie:

In my index.php I have the following:

[code]
<?php
if (isset($_POST['list'])) { setcookie("VLIST", $_POST["user"], time()+3600);$vlistid=$_POST["user"]; } else { $vlistid=$_COOKIE["VLIST"]; }
[/code]

$vlistid will be put into a forms textbox further down in index.php, i did it so if the form is being submitted then: set the cookie, otherwise $listid = the last cookie set. the reason i put $vlistid=$_POST["user"] after setting the cookie as when the page reloaded from the form being submitted it was showing the old cookie.

It seems to work fine in firefox but in IE, when I go back to the site it doesnt show the cookie.

Thanks in advance, p-s; how do i set the cookie to expire in 1 year?
