PHP Cookie Problem

[Dynamo3209]

I am setting a cookie, and when I try reading or printing the cookie value ($_COOKIE[cookie_name]), Netscape prints out the cookie value, however IE doesn't seem to read the cookie. Are the cookies handled differently by IE and Netscape.

Thanks,
Dynamo

Obviously.
Be careful with stating the cookies expiration date/time in the right format. IE will not forgive you if it's not right.

I am setting the cookie as

setcookie(User,$UserNameEmail,time()+86400,"/",$argumentstring1,0);
where argumentstring1 is the domain on which the cookie is set and $UserNameEmail is the email address.

However IE doesn't seem to read the cookie where as Netscape can.

hiya,
I found absolutely no problem reading the cookie in ie6
Used some sample data:

<?php
$UserNameEmail = 'jr@somewhat.com';
$argumentstring1 = '127.0.0.1';

setcookie(User,$UserNameEmail,time()+86400,"/",$argumentstring1,0);
?>

<?
  echo $_COOKIE["User"]; 
?>

By the way (dumb question I know) is your IE accepting cookies? Can you actually find it back on your PC?
