set_cookie not working or am I missing something?

Hello all,

https://forum.codeigniter.com/thread-73563.html => Is this an ongoing issue?

I am not able to set_cookie with cookie helper and then redirect.

PHP Code:

private function setCookieClient($client)
{
    helper('cookie');
    set_cookie($this->cookieName, $client['remember_token'], (strtotime($client['remember_expires'])-time()));
    set_cookie('Static', 'TestMe', 86400);
}

return redirect()->redirect(route_toFixed('dashboardClient'))->with('notify', ['type'=>'success','message'=>'Success!']); 


Calling setCookieClient function and then calling redirect function not working at all. setCookieClient is a custom Auth Lib function however running set_cookie in the controller itself does not work either.

The only working solution was like the I mentioned previously.

PHP Code:

$this->response->setCookie(service('AuthClient')->cookieName, $authstat['client']['remember_token'], abs(strtotime($authstat['client']['remember_expires'])- time() ))->setHeader('Location', route_toFixed('dashboardClient')); 


Or am I missing something else here?
