set_cookie not setting cookie

Well, the xss clean is built into a few of the Code Igniter functions/classes. So, depending on how you end up setting and getting your cookie, you can run it several different ways. Here are some examples from the User Guide...

Code:

// Example 1
$this->input->cookie('cookie_name', TRUE); // <-- the TRUE optional parameter means you want CI to run xss_clean on it

// Example 2
$data = $this->input->xss_clean($data); // <-- here you could pass a variable containing your cookie data

// Example 3
$my_cookie = get_cookie('some_cookie', TRUE); // <-- the TRUE optional parameter means you want CI to run xss_clean on it

So, as you can see there are a few ways to run xss clean. You can also set CI to run it automatically globally throughout the site...

If you want the filter to run automatically every time it encounters POST or COOKIE data you can enable it by opening your application/config/config.php file and setting this:

Code:

$config['global_xss_filtering'] = TRUE;

There is some info on xss clean in the CI documentation in a few places...
