Note:
setcookie() will not make the cookie available for current page, so use isset() to judge whether setcookie() correct will not work in same page loading.

Following are from php official documents:
=======================
setcookie() defines a cookie to be sent along with the rest of the HTTP headers. Like other headers, cookies must be sent before any output from your script (this is a protocol restriction). This requires that you place calls to this function prior to any output, including <html> and <head> tags as well as any whitespace.

Once the cookies have been set, they can be accessed on the next page load with the $_COOKIE or $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS arrays.


Return Values

If output exists prior to calling this function, setcookie() will fail and return FALSE. If setcookie() successfully runs, it will return TRUE. This does not indicate whether the user accepted the cookie.

The above PROTOCOL RESTRICTION is applied on the linux server. While if the server is built on Windows, it doesn't matter where the secookie() and session_start() appear in the entire code page.
