I'm trying to check if a cookie isset right after I setcookie. It works but I have to reload the page before the correct php file is loaded.

This is how I'm doing it:

//set cookie
$cookie_value = "Cookie";
setcookie("Placed", $cookie_value, time()+86400);

//check if cookie is set
if (isset($_COOKIE['Placed'])) {
include("display.php");
} else {
include("nodisplay.php");
}

Is there something that I'm missing?

`setcookie` doesn't update the `$_COOKIE` array itself. That's only populated *once* when PHP processes an incoming request. – mario Aug 14 '15 at 02:21
Is there a reason as to why you're using cookie instead of session for PHP? – jKIM Aug 14 '15 at 02:23
@dee in the past i had issues with sessions and mobile browsers – Joe Bobby Aug 14 '15 at 02:24
@dee is there a way to set a php session to be valid for 24 hours? – Joe Bobby Aug 14 '15 at 02:25
