A couple problems may exist:
1) If you're trying to do this all in the same script, it's not going to
work. You can't set a cookie and use it (with the value you've just
set) in the same script (in the same request). You can only use cookies
that have been sent back to your script from the browser. If you
require the use of a cookie value you're trying to set, use your local
variable's value, instead of trying to get the cookie.
2) I'm pretty sure there is not timeset() function in php.
> setcookie("cookiename1","$domin","timeset()+1800");
And you've used it as a quoted string ... set a very funky, if not very
invalid, expiry time, and hence didn't set the cookie at all. Try this
instead: setcookie( "cookiename1", $domin, time()+1800 );
On a different request, you can retrieve $_COOKIE['cookiename1']
