>From http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php:
int setcookie ( string name [, string value [, int expire [, string path [,
string domain [, int secure]]]]])

The 3rd parameter is intended to be the Unix-style time at which the cookie
expires; I generally use time() + 86400 * 365 (one year from "now").  Since
"" isn't a valid integer value, PHP is unhappy about it.  As noted in the
above linked page:

The expire and secure arguments are integers and *cannot be skipped with an
empty string*. Use a zero (0) instead. The expire argument is a regular Unix
time integer as returned by the time() or mktime() functions.
