Problem setting cookie on WP Questions

Once again I'm using this site to ask a question, not about WordPress, but about WP Questions itself.

If you go to this page, a cookie should be set on your browser:

http://www.wpquestions.com/page/static/name/About

However, it seems to me that no cookie is being set. Here is the code I'm using, does anyone see a flaw in the way I'm setting this cookie?



  public function executeStatic($request)

  {

    setcookie ("haveYouSeenTheLandingPage", $request->getParameter('name'), time() + 100000000);  





    if (file_exists($this->userCustomizationPath . 'templates/static' .  $request->getParameter('name') . '.php')) {

      $fileAsString = file_get_contents($this->userCustomizationPath . 'templates/static' .  $request->getParameter('name') . '.php'); 

    } elseif (file_exists(sfConfig::get('sf_root_dir') . '/apps/contest/modules/page/templates/static' .  $request->getParameter('name') . '.php')) {

      $fileAsString = file_get_contents(sfConfig::get('sf_root_dir') . '/apps/contest/modules/page/templates/static' .  $request->getParameter('name') . '.php'); 

    }



    if (!$fileAsString) $this->forward404();

    

    $this->fileAsString = $fileAsString; 

  }


So a cookie named haveYouSeenTheLandingPage should be set with a value of "About".

Any thoughts about why this is failing? Or is it working for some of you? If so, what browsers?

This question has been answered.

      Strange. I wonder why it doesn't work for me?
