How to set a session cookie with a path?

I need to set a session cookie (expires when the browser closes) with a
path of "/".

Is there a way to do it?

I tried:

setcookie("cookie_name", $cookie_value, "", "/");

and

setcookie("cookie_name", $cookie_value, "0", "/");

and of course none of them worked.

I can't move the page that is setting the cookie to the top level
directory of the site, but I need the cookie to be available to couple
of page there.

Is this doable at all?

TIA
