php COOKIE setcookie malfunction in Chrome, works fine in FF

Question

This is my php cookie code,

setcookie("city_id", $cityData[0]['city_id'], 2147483647, "/", "localhost");
setcookie("cityname", $cityData[0]['cityname'], 2147483647, "/", "localhost");

echo $_COOKIE['city_id'];
echo $_COOKIE['cityname'];

Above code is working fine on FF, but not working in Chrome.... Any suggestions....

Can you describe the malfunction you are observing? Did you try opening the page in Chrome Incognito mode? — Will Sheppard, Oct 26 '15 at 16:34
Is that code as it is shown? I.e. both run in the same request one after the other? — Jonnix, Oct 26 '15 at 16:34
ON print_r $cityData[0] array, I am getting all the values in it. After setcookie, When I try to access respective cookies it gives error — Mangesh Sathe, Oct 26 '15 at 16:47

Your setting the timestamp well into the future which could be a problem in FF.

Try setting it a year from today instead - replace 2147483647 with strtotime('+1 year')

I doubt you'll still need the cookie to be set in 2038, we will probably all be living on Mars by that point.

Remove the last param "localhost" as well – fire Oct 26 '15 at 16:57
Removed "localhost" It worked! What should be the domain name on local env? – Mangesh Sathe Oct 28 '15 at 15:08
You don't need to specify it at all if you want the cookies on the same domain. – fire Oct 28 '15 at 16:22
