bool setcookie ( string name [, string value [, int expire [, string
path [, string domain [, int secure]]]]])
[...]
All the arguments except the name argument are optional. You may also
replace an argument with an empty string ("")

at first look this appears to be a bug. but I have a fealing its only
cause your error_reporting is set to E_ALL thus a warning is shown
because the third paramater should be a interger so change it to:
setcookie("name2","1",0,"",".bestwebhosters.com");
mabey documentation should be changed.

hmm..
few things:
1. is your setcookie returning true or false?
2. have you examined (or even see the cookie get set) the actual cookie
to see
3. good reading for intro to cookies for programmers:
