Answer 1

Try this:

/* setting the cookie */
setcookie("user", $_POST["username"]);
?>

/* echoing the data in the cookie */
echo $_COOKIE["user"];
?>

Your code seems to assume that register_globals is ON, which is OFF by default as of PHP 4.2.0. The use of the COOKIE and POST superglobals should fix your problem. COOKIE stores cookie data and POST stores form data. This is the best way to use this data in PHP.
