login

I'm building an autologin system using cookies, but one fundamental part of the functionality of the cookies fails: they are non-persistent over different sessions - or even pages! In my login script, I set the cookies like this:

setcookie('userID', $userID, time()+86400); // (edited after replies)

$userID has a value.
Then I print the $_COOKIE variable and it says array(['base_usid'] => 1); So that's good, but when I click the home page and print the $_COOKIE variable there, it says NULL.
Does anyone see the problem?
