If cookies are not being set using the PHP setcookie() function, there could be a few possible causes. Here are some things to check:

Make sure the setcookie () function is being called before any output is sent to the browser. Cookies must be set before any HTML or other content is sent to the browser, or the cookie will not be set.

Check that the parameters being passed to the setcookie () function are correct. The function takes several parameters, including the name of the cookie, the value to be stored, the expiration time, and any additional options. Make sure that all of these parameters are set correctly.

Check that cookies are enabled in the user's browser. Some users may have cookies disabled or configured to reject certain types of cookies. You can provide instructions to the user on how to enable cookies or modify their cookie settings.

Check that the cookie is being set for the correct domain and path. By default, cookies are set for the current domain and path. If you need to set a cookie for a different domain or path, you will need to specify this in the parameters passed to the setcookie () function.

Check that the server has the correct date and time settings. Cookies are set based on the server's date and time settings, so if these are incorrect, cookies may not be set or may be set with the wrong expiration time.

If none of these solutions work, there may be an issue with the server configuration or with the browser itself. In this case, you may need to consult the server or browser documentation, or seek assistance from a technical support specialist.
