   setcookie("cookie[$name]", $age);

I think it should be:
think again
   setcookie("cookie[$name]", $age);
   echo $_COOKIE['cookie[{$name}]'];

Please see http://www.php.net/setcookie.
have you tried reading it yourself? the answer /is/ in there you know!
Basically, what happens here is the fact that when you set a cookie 
using setcookie(), that cookie isn't automatically added to the $_COOKIE 
superglobal. why not? because the $_COOKIE superglobals array contains 
cookies *recieved* from the user, and this one just left on its way *to* 
the user. Until the user reloads the page, that cookie will not show up 
in the $_COOKIE array. But, please tell me, why don't you print it like 
this:
echo $age ?

Also you're teaching yourself a very bad habit of writing scripts with
register_globals turned on. See google for more information.
