Help with setcookie()

Merry Xmas to those on this foruum

Older guy here with some experience but not allot so please be gentle.
I am having problems with setting cookies on my web site. At one time they worked and for the life of me I cannot find the problem... 3 days now ... no joy.
To make it as simple as I can, I wrote a very simple program that should demonstrate the problem... I am not that good on server settings, but i have a hunch it is on the server. My program (testcookie.php) has phpinfo() combined with the small program that demonstrates so you can see the exact problem.

Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?
BTW, I have no .htaccess file.
You can see the problem here .. almcom<dot>net/testcookie.php
Here is the same code you will see on the above location.
Code: <?php
setcookie("IM_A_COOKIE", "IM_COOKIE_CONTENT", time() + 3600, "/"); //cookie expires in 60min

echo " Running testcookie.php ------- SEE BELOW phpinfo() -------";

echo " -----------------------------------begin display of testcookie.php code------------------ ";
highlight_file("testcookie.php");

echo " ----------------------------------------end of testcookie.php code------------------------ ";

if (isset($_COOKIE["IM_A_COOKIE"]))
echo "It was set... " . $_COOKIE["IM_A_COOKIE"] . "! ";
else
echo "<h4>Cookie was NOT set</h4>";

echo "-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------";
echo " Here is the phpinfo():...";
phpinfo();
?>
<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE> Cookie Tester</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>END of testing with testcookie.php</BODY>
</HTML>
