cookies are part of the header, and header info cannot be set after page
data has been sent to the buffer. if you output $_GET at the beginning of
the script, even your redirect won't work. make sure there is no line break
or space or anything output before the cookie (including anything before the
<? tag).
are you using 'mydomain.com' in the setcookie? it is optional and defaults
to wherever you set it from, but if you specify it then it can only be read
from a page at that domain.
