Answer 1

try without cookie path and cookie domain

setcookie($cookieName,$cookieValue,$cookieExpire);

check if cookies are enabled in IE

============== EDIT ================

I think I got it, try this:

<?
$currentTime = time();
$cookieName   = "gohyde";
$cookieValue  = strval($currentTime);       // value is issue time (Unix Time)
$cookieExpire = strval($currentTime + 600); // expire is 10 minutes after issuing cookie 
setcookie($cookieName,
$cookieValue,
$cookieExpire);
echo $_COOKIE[$cookieName];
?>

without cookie path and cookie domain. and no "." dot in the cookie name.
