how to retrieve cookies ?

[nishika]

i have written following code for setting & retrieving cookies:-

$lang = 'french';
setcookie('TRADE_LANGUAGE', $lang, time()+3600);
print_r($_COOKIE);

but while printing it gives only one that is "Array ( [PHPSESSID] => 3p4l3oq93b5tet0 r7lea77tca0 ) "

i have checked in my browser 2 cookies are been created PHPSESSID & TRADE_LANGUAGE but while printing only one gets printed,

can someone pls tell what can be issue?

Thanks,
nishika

The cookie is not going to show up until the second visit to a page on the site.

In other words...

1- On page one a cookie is set
2- The user navigates to a different (or same page)
3- The cookie that was set on the first visit is now available

The reason that your PHPSESSID cookie was available is because it was already set.

It can get more involved than that, but these are the basics.
