I've been running XAMPP for almost two years now, with no problems.

I'm now developing a site which requires cookies (I'm a newbie to cookies, but not to PHP). Localhost doesn't seem to set my cookies, but they are set if I upload the pages to my ISP's server and open them from there.

Do I need to set something in XAMPP to enable cookies to be set locally ?

no need to edit php.ini (regarding cookie settings, which was the suggestion in the previous post)
maybe some firewall or vista settings do block it?

Thank you both. I'll look at the php.ini approach.

I think that if it were a firewall or OS (XP) issue I'd not get cookies posted when opening other pages from the web ? But I'll check just in case I've set up a block on localhost. Seems unlikely, though.

Later: I think I've got it working now, subject to a bit more testing. Thank you.

Turned out the problem lay in PHP GLOBALS. I think my ISP must have Globals ON, whereas XAMPP requires me to use SUPER_GLOBALS
