You're setting a cookie without an expire date,
so I think it expires when the browser closes,
much like SESSION. Try giving it an expiration date
and I bet it will work for you ...
setcookie("web_user", "failure", time()+604800); // one week
Also, you can't set a cookie and read it in the same
script without at least one page refresh. It's the
page loading that sets the cookie (with the HTTP request header).

no i had it there i just removed because i wanted extremly easy for find a error.
Hm... yea i know that i have to refresh page ... but i have following login:
(take nick, pass, check db if exists ( everything working well ok ) and then:
if is match in DB
setting session
update something in DB
setcookie
then i refresh a page ... session and db is updated but cookie is not set up
i have idea... could you recommend me some tool with which i check what is currently sending me in HTTP header to server or something like that. ? or something for scan php errors/blocks maybe something is blocking together.

Post your exact code ... but X-out any passwords.
The script where the cookie is set.
