Description:
------------
setcookie not accepting the expire parameter no matter how I configure it. ie:

setcookie("user","$info",time()+30000);

OR

$ntime = time();
setcookie("user","$info",$ntime()+30000);

OR

$expire = time() + 300000;
setcookie("user","$info",$expire);

In each one of the above examples, the cookie IS set, but ends with session.

Compile time information:

'./configure' '--prefix=/usr' '--host=i686-pc-linux-gnu' '--mandir=/usr/share/man' '--infodir=/usr/share/info' '--datadir=/usr/share' '--sysconfdir=/etc' '--localstatedir=/var/lib' '--without-readline' '--with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs2' '--with-ndbm' '--with-db4=/usr' '--with-mcrypt=/usr' '--with-mhash' '--with-ming=/usr' '--with-swf=/usr' '--with-gdbm=/usr' '--with-java=/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1' '--without-pgsql' '--with-snmp' '--enable-ucd-snmp-hack' '--with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6' '--with-pdflib=/usr' '--with-gd' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--with-png-dir=/usr' '--with-jpeg' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr' '--enable-exif' '--with-tiff-dir=/usr' '--with-mysql=/usr' '--with-mysql-sock=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' '--with-freetype-dir=/usr' '--with-gettext' '--with-qtdom' '--with-pspell' '--with-openssl' '--with-imap' '--without-ldap' '--with-dom' '--with-dom-xslt' '--with-dom-exslt' '--without-kerberos' '--with-pam' '--disable-memory-limit' '--enable-ipv6' '--with-curlwrappers' '--with-curl' '--enable-dbx' '--with-imap-ssl' '--with-zlib' '--with-zlib-dir=/usr/lib' '--with-sablot=/usr' '--enable-xslt' '--with-xslt-sablot' '--with-xmlrpc' '--enable-wddx' '--with-xml' '--enable-mbstring=all' '--enable-mbregex' '--with-bz2' '--with-crack' '--with-cdb' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-calendar' '--enable-dbase' '--enable-filepro' '--enable-ftp' '--with-mime-magic' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-sysvsem' '--enable-sysvshm' '--enable-sysvipc' '--with-iconv' '--enable-shmop' '--enable-dio' '--enable-inline-optimization' '--enable-track-vars' '--enable-trans-sid' '--enable-versioning' '--with-config-file-path=/etc/php/apache2-php4'

Reproduce code:
---------------
setcookie("user","$info",time()+30000);

Expected result:
----------------
a cookie named "user" with information "$info" set to the remote computer's hard drive and set to expire in 30,000 seconds after cookie is written to hard drive.

Actual result:
--------------
Cookie is written into memory that expires at the end of session.
