as it happens the code works for me on firefox, but any issues are possibly down to the fact that setcookie expects a string value as the value, not a boolean (true/false) so if you used !== then you check might fail

so really you should

PHP Code:


			
function check_cookie() {
    if($_COOKIE['test'] != "someval"){
        echo 'setting cookie';
        setcookie("test", "someval", time()+3600);
    }
}

though you could just as easily test if the cookie is set .. if(isset($_COOKIE['test'])){etc
