I have a cookie that will not set on the remote server, works find locally. No error messages, var_dump gets me Null, echo is blank.
This problem never did solve, I ended up writing a new file to a different domain on the same host, gave the cookie a different name and value (is it possible that a 3 character name cookie with a 2 digit value too small??) and it worked as supposed expected.
Thank you all for your help... too busy to do a CSI investigation as to the how's and whys.
