I'm trying to set cookies with the "setcookie" function in PHP...

example of the code :

PHP: 
setcookie("data1", $data1, time()+3600);

the cookie is always empty!!
(yes, I set the cookies before the <html> tag... )

here's the "print_r" of the cookie:
Code: 
Array ( )

though, if I reload the PHP, and set them for the second time, it works.

I don't get it (the code does arrive to the part where it sets the cookies, I checked)
 
$_COOKIE is populated by what stored cookies the user sends the server.
Since on first load the user has no cookie there is nothing sent to the server so $_COOKIE is empty, even after you set a cookie.
The second time the page is loaded the user has a cookie and it will be sent to the server so $_COOKIE will contain some information.
