It would seem that the php4 function setcookie() always return a value of 1.  In php3, one could check the return value from setcookie to determine in the clients' browser was accepting cookies ...

I can find nothing in the documentation relating to this change.

We are using Apache 1.3.12 with php4 statically linked in (as we've been unable to use php4 as a DSO under Solaris because of runtime library path problems [a different issue]).  I'd be happy to supply a list of modules compiled in or my php.ini file but I've duplicated this problem with no ini file and a vanilla compilation.

You are wrong.  PHP 3 could not determine this as there is no way to know whether the client accepted the cookie or not.
