have a look into your PHP.INI:
; - register_globals = Off
; Global variables are no longer registered for input data (POST, GET,
cookies,
; environment and other server variables). Instead of using $foo, you
must use
; $HTTP_POST_VARS["foo"], $HTTP_GET_VARS["foo"],
$HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["foo"],
; $HTTP_ENV_VARS["foo"] or $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["foo"], depending on which
kind
; of input source you're expecting 'foo' to come from.
In order to find cookie in $testcookie, you must set
register_globals = On
otherwise you must use $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["testcookie"] instead
