Cookie doesn't set on the server 1

[DaSe]

Hello to all. Yesterday I came across an issue where I can't execute a cookie for some reason on the server. It works locally though without no problems. The domain's path is "/tmp" for session_path. Here's the code. Thanks for comments:

if (!isset($_COOKIE['TestCookie'])) { 
$vote_com2 =  mysqli_query($connect,"UPDATE news SET up = '".$upv."' WHERE news_id = '$idn'" );
 setcookie("TestCookie", $idn, time()+3600,"/",".mydomain.net"); 
}

So what happens? Do you get an error? Does the cookie simply not set?

What is $idn? Is it set?

Why do you set $vote_com2 but never use it?

Give us something to work with.

Hi Phil,
ok - I get no errors on error_reporting(E_ALL). Secondly, the code works perfectly locally. When uploaded on the server it doesn't set the cookie for some reason. For now I replaced the cookies with setting $_SESSION instead - but that is only for as long as the browser on of course. The code seems fine - the cookie should be set upon first time query for 1h - but doesn't work on server. $idn is the variable that is passed from $_POST it's used for voting. So each voting item has its own $idn. Lastly - $vote_com2 never used ? It is executed correctly when user has not 'set' the cookie...

My bad, I didn't see your query was an update, thought it was standard select.

Browser set to allow cookies ? Allow cookies from that server?

So what are you doing if the cookie is set?
Your codes set's it if its not, but then what should happen if it is?

How are you checking for that?

Hi Phil,
Sorted. The issue is about the time o the server and my location which is about a 4h difference. That's why a cookie set for 1h didn't work. So I need to re-set to a longer expiration date...hope it'll solve the problem. Thanks a lot.
