If you create a host with an underscore in the domain you are unable to set cookie. I created one with the name site_v1.domain.com and any attempt to set a cookie was unsuccessful, I then used the IP address instead and it worked fine.

I then tested this on a different system with the following code.

<?php

setcookie('name', 'value', time()+3600);

echo '<pre>';
print_r($_COOKIE);
echo '</pre>';

?>

Yes i did reload the page. I've tried php 4.2.3 and 4.3.0-pre2

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

Your nameserver is broken, see:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/std/std13.txt

Secion 3.5. Preferred name syntax, Page [10], shows allowed characters for hostnames. The underscore is not one of them.
