IE with Windows XP not accepting cookies

[john99999]

I made php script that writes a cookie and then reads it, using the setcookie php function.

This works fine on XP with Netscape, mac with IE, and mac with Safari, it does not work with XP and IE.

How do I get my cookie to work?

Can you post the minimum necessary code that demonstrates the problem?

remember you can disable accepting cookies in IE in windows.

Thanks for the quick response:
The code is:
if(setcookie("roi_campaign",$campaign_id,$ttl))
echo "<SCRIPT>alert('Cookie Set OK');</SCRIPT>";
else
echo "<SCRIPT>alert('set cookie failed');</SCRIPT>";

echo "<SCRIPT>alert('$cookie_lifetime $ttl $visitors_uni');</SCRIPT>";

'set cookie failed' does NOT apprear, however there is not file created for my domain in my C:\Documents and Settings\john\Cookies diretory.

Why wont it create that file? I have even set my IE privacy option to accept all cookies.

Also, there are cookies for other sites in my
C:\Documents and Settings\john\Cookies directory

That's not the minimum necessary code, as your invocation of setcookie() is using variables that are unreferenced.

This, alert('$cookie_lifetime $ttl $visitors_uni'); alerts:
0 0 1

The rest of the code is:
$cookie_lifetime = intval(@implode(NULL, @mysql_fetch_row(@mysql_query("SELECT cookie_lifetime FROM roi_owners WHERE id=".$owner_id.";"))));
$ttl = ($cookie_lifetime == 0) ? 0 : time()+$cookie_lifetime;
$visitors_uni = 1;
