I created an issue for this problem with the link https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/166921075
My cookies are not being created and google marked this as bug for 2 months now no result. LET ME RECAP THE QUESTION HERE
ISSUE BELOW:
I am using php72 runtime on app engine. Now, after my website is up and running, I noticed that my cookies are not being created, after close inspection via gcloud logs read, I found out that header were already sent out, so I could not create or remove cookies from any page on my website only via front controller.
After multiple tests, I added setcookie on my front controller and the cookie creates successfully, but that is not what I want, I want to be able to create cookies on whatever pages I desire.
What I expected to happen:
I expected the cookies to be created when the page loads not front controller creating my cookies for me.
Steps to reproduce:
- Write a PHP website maybe one page
- Host on google app engine php runtime 72 stated on app.yaml file
- Deploy via app.yaml file.
- Add setcookie code on website page.

Setting a cookie needs to happen before any content is output, so cookiesetter.php needs to be included before the <html> tag.
Hope this helps
