Note that many browsers won't deal well with an cookie whose expiration date
is after January 19, 2038 at 3:14:07 A.M. UTC (that's an epoch timestamp of
2147483647) since they store cookie expiration time in a 32 bit signed
integer. (The maximum positive value of a 32 bit signed int is 2147483647).

So, you may be better off with:

setcookie('myCookie',$val,2147483647);
