Workaround #2:

At the beginning og your script, "declare" any possibly unset variable
that will be invoked:

if (!isset($test)) {$test="";}

Workaround (which doesn't mean this bug shouldn't be fixed):

To perform tests:
if (!isset($test) || $test=="") { echo ""; }

To set a variable:
$a=""; if (isset($test)) { $a=$test; }

I've found out that the problem is not limited to tests. It happens
every time you invoke an unset variable before than setting a cookie.

In the previous example, try
$a = $test;
instead of
if ($test=="") { echo ""; }
and the setcookie won't work as well.

This is a shortest example:

<?
# $test="";
setcookie("debug","1",0,"","");
if ($test=="") { echo ""; }
setcookie("debug","3",0,"","");
echo "Cookie: [".$_COOKIE["debug"]."] (HIT RELOAD)<BR>";
?>

I've submitted a specific bug. It depends either from PHP or Windows
2000 itself in some way, because I've tested it deeply in many
configurations of operating systems, Apache and PHP versions.

The sample code provided is a proof of concept, not a code I'm asking
advice about.

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.
