browser not sending cookie back to php?

i have a php script that uses setcookie to set a cookie called "sess". i am using secure=true method with "" as the domain.

in both FF and safari, i can see the cookie is set for the same domain as the __ut (google analytics) cookies

but when i load a page and print_r($_COOKIE) i get only the __ut cookies, and not the "sess" cookie

why isn't php seeing the cookie? is the browser even sending it?

Please paste some code into your question so we can see what you are doing... - AJ.
(Sideline) Option secure=true works only if you use secure connection, otherwise, setcookie() is not sending any data to the client. - Wh1T3h4Ck5

Since you're using secure mode, make sure you're also using a valid https connection. Also, you should probably specify the domain instead of a blank string.

Does that help?

Make sure you aren't checking $_COOKIE from the same request in which you are trying to set the cookie. Cookies aren't available until after the request in which they are set is complete.
