When sending a cookie and using the time to expire in it the cookie wil not show but PHP thinks it was delivered (from a logical statement). 
====================================
config line:   
./configure --enable-track-vars --with-mysql --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs
====================================
Server setup Freebsd 4.2, mysql 3.23, Apache 1.14-i386 build_freeBSD, php 4.0.5

This is not bug and this place is not the correct place
to ask support questions.

Let me clarify and you can tell if this is not a bug. PHP is suppossed to declare cookies based of the NS cookie standard. 
http://developer.netscape.com:80/docs/manuals/js/client/jsguide/cookies.htm 

I have a situation where if I set a cookie as:

setcookie("test", "value");

It works

If I set it just like php says it is set (based on these standards):
int setcookie (string name [, string value [, int expire [, string path [, string domain [, int secure]]]]])

setcookie("test", "value", time()+15000, "/", ".mysite.com");

Then the cookie does not exsist. I have tested it off of Linux and it has been fine as the same format, same Apache server, same version of PHP. Am I way over stepping my boundries here or would you call that a bug?

Please add a complete but short example script into
this report which can be used to reproduce this problem.

And I assume you know that if you use the path / host
the cookies are visible on only that path and host.

Also, many browsers handle them differently. 
So please include the browser and version into this
bug report with which you get this.
