php cookie acting strangely

[JnrJnr]

Hi all, I have a little testing site where I want to test my problem.
The site has 3 pages:
Home, Account, Cart, and a menu to navigate to them.

What I do is:
On the Home page I set the cookie on submit button click. (the page refers to itself)
I then navigate to another page (Account) and check if the cookie is set. And it is.
Then I navigate to next page (Cart) and check if the cookie is set. And it is.

The problem:
When I go back to the page where I originally set the cookie, it always dispalys that the cookie has not been set.

setcookie('myCookie', 'Val', 0, '/', false); //this is done on Home page
//The following is done on all pages...
if(isset($_COOKIE['myCookie']))
{
  echo($_COOKIE['myCookie']);
}
else
echo('not set');

Note: the problem occurs always from the page the cookie was set. Also this works fine in FireFox but not IE
Can anyone share some knowledge please?

You are checking in $_POST. Shouldn't you be checking within $_COOKIE

if(isset($_POST['myCookie']))

Hi zorgi, you are right I made a mistake when I posted the question. (I will fix it)
It is suppose to be $_COOKIE[''] but it was still not working in IE.
I checked for help everywhere and tried a lot.
The only thing that I could make sense of is that I am using a local domain name (local server) to test and develop.
Apparently IE's cookies dont always function properly when using local servers.
So I installed IE 9 just for development purposes and its working fine now. Thanx for the code correction though!

I just checked on my localhost with IE8 and it works fine.
