what are you trying to do? (do you need the info in the cookie on the client?
or does it need to be 'permanent'?

do you know what a php session is? I get the impression you either don't
or that there is some kind of misunderstanding.

if you want to use the native php session functionality then you don't
have to use setcookie(), instead have good look at:
http://php.net/session
and in particular:
http://php.net/session_start
tiny hint: you 'start' the session on each page (maybe an include file would
come in handy) and then make use of the $_SESSION superglobal (which can store
allsorts [but not all**] of types of variables accross requests).
