setcookie(lastVisit, date("G:i - m/d/y"), $inTwoMonths);
should be:
setcookie("lastVisit", date("G:i - m/d/y"), $inTwoMonths);
Note the quotes around "lastVisited."
Also, cookies must be sent to the browser before any other output. The
PHP manual says:
"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."
