Cookie is not set when a variable is used for a cookie name
On my server when using the code:
<?php
$expire=time()+60*60*24*360;
$cookie_name = 'user';
$cookie_value = "John";
setcookie($cookie_name, $cookie_value, $expire, "/");
$cookie_value = "Jane";
setcookie('userb', $cookie_value, $expire, "/");
print_r($_COOKIE);
?>
The first cookie is not set and the second. For some reason, it seems like using a variable to identify the name of the cookie prevents it from being set. This problem does NOT occur on my localhost (everything works as expected). So I'm not even sure where to start.

You cannot use more than one setcookie function.
<?php
$expire=time()+60*60*24*360;
$cookie_name = 'user';
$cookie_value = "John";
setcookie($cookie_name, $cookie_value, $expire, "/");
//$cookie_value = "Jane";
//setcookie('userb', $cookie_value, $expire, "/");
print_r($_COOKIE);
?>

change the parameter of the setcookie function and then try it.
eg.
$expire=time()+60*60*24*360;
$cookie_name = 'user';
$cookie_value = "John";
setcookie($cookie_name, $cookie_value, $expire, "/");
$cookie_value1 = "Jane";
setcookie('userb', $cookie_value1, $expire, "/");
print_r($_COOKIE);
