Description:
------------
setcookie() doesnot function on several machines if 3rd parameter is presented;

Reproduce code:
---------------
setcookie("myCookie","myValue",time() + 3600);

Expected result:
----------------
A cookie named "myCookie" should be created.

Actual result:
--------------
No cookie with name "myCookie" was created. If 3rd param (time() + 3600 or other variable) was presented, then th eabove snip of code does work well.

99% likely that the times on the server and the machines you tested this on were out of synch.  Relying on users to have their clocks set accurately for short-timeout cookies like this is a bad idea.  Use a session-cookie or a longer-range cookie and embed the actual timeout based on your server's time into the cookie value itself.
