Hi Tony,
In most cases you do not need to use the domain parameter. Try to simplify
the function call to
setcookie("auth", "1", 0, "/"); // Not this cookie has already expired
setcookie("auth", "1", time() + 3600, "/"); // Not this cookie will expire
in 1 hour
or even to
setcookie("auth", "1"); // Note this wil be a session cookie that wil
expire when the browsr window is closed.
