bah! why don't cookies work in PHP for me?

[partha]

I'm just using W3C's simple tutorial:

page1
-----------
<?php
setcookie("uname", $name, time()+36000);
?>

page2
-----------
<?php
if (isset($_COOKIE["uname"]))
echo "Welcome " . $_COOKIE["uname"] . "!<br />";
else
echo "You are not logged in!<br />";
?>

I always get "you are not logged in!" though. I tried on opera and IE6. And for PHP I'm using AppServ.

What is going wrong?!?! I'm pulling my hair out!

Just a quick reply while I wait for a reply to my question....
First thing you want to do with any header activity is make sure your code is at the top of the page without any spaces:
<?php
cookie code...
?>
html....

no space! before the "<?php"
If php gets any space it will send the header without your cookie request..... at least thats how I understand it!

Hope that helps!

Also, I would make sure that you are assigning a value to $name on page one.
