[UPHPU] testing for browser without cookies

[Craig Jackson]

setcookie only sends the information to the client to set their own cookie.
$_COOKIE is a superglobal that is set before PHP script is ran.

So, you will need to use setcookie (for future requests) and
manipulate your current global cookie variable (for the current
request). I believe you have to use global $_COOKIE to set the
$_COOKIE associative array throughout your script, if you don't I
believe it will only change the local version of the $_COOKIE array.

Hopefully, I have been able to help. Maybe google 'php $_COOKIE
superglobal' for more info, because I do not know if this raises any
security concerns or other problems.
