Can't get a cookie to set. Below is the code near the file top BEFORE any html output.

$_POST['prefs'] comes from a hidden field in the middle of the html output.

$_POST['filter'] comes from a select option.

A Submit button closes the page and refreshes it.

print_r($_POST) shows $_POST['prefs'] $_POST['prefs'] are just as I expect when the page refreshes.

## code
print_r($_POST)
session_start();
print_r($_COOKIE);

if(isset($_POST['prefs']))
    $cookie= setcookie("listpref", $_POST['filter'], time()+7776000);

var_dump($cookie) shows bool TRUE

I added the session_start() as a test.

print_r($_COOKIE) shows the session ID cookie works just fine.

IE6 and Firefox don't record the regular cookie.

Problem solved.  Was a slap-on-the-forehead, dummy, type.

Note, the test "print_r() BEFORE the setcookie().  It is obviously sent before the html header.
