There was no error message, there is a value for $user but still no cookie was set!

PHP Code:

setcookie ("user", $user, $time+3200); 

      setcookie ("pass", md5('super secret salt that no one knows'. $pass), $time+3200);

      $success = "Y";

      $content = 'You\'ve success fully logged into your account as <strong>'. $_COOKIE['user'] .'</strong>. Please <a href=index.php>click here</a> if the page does not automatically refresh within 5 seconds.'; 

As you can see, it is supposed to echo the user cookie, but nothing was displayed... Any ideas on why?

check if it writes something in the cookie folder

Nothing...

Assuming that the cookie was sent to the browser, it is not directly available within the same code that sets it until the page is refreshed or you browse to a different page and the headers are exchanged which is when the browser sends the cookie back to the web server and the $_COOKIE... variable becomes set.

Try putting this after your first opening php tag to see if there is a header problem -

PHP Code:

error_reporting(E_ALL);
