Cant load cookie data to another page

I am trying to retrieve cookie data that has been set from another page but i cant seem to view that data, but if i fetch it in same page it will work

I have tried some methods but its still not working even after i refresh the cookies from the browser

This is code from the add.php page

<form method="post">
    <input type="text" name="quantity" value="1" class="form-control" />
    <input type="hidden" name="hidden_name" value="<?php echo $row["name"];?>" />
    <input type="hidden" name="hidden_price" value="<?php echo $row["price"]; ?>" />
  <input type="hidden" name="hidden_id" value="<?php echo $row["id"]; ?>"/>
  <input type="submit" name="add_to_cart" style="margin-top:5px;" class="btn btn-success" value="Add to Cart" />
</form> 

if(isset($_POST["add_to_cart"])) {
    if(isset($_COOKIE["shopping_cart"])) {
        $cookie_data = stripslashes($_COOKIE['shopping_cart']);

        $cart_data = json_decode($cookie_data, true);
    } else {
        $cart_data = array();
    }

    $item_id_list = array_column($cart_data, 'item_id');

    if(in_array($_POST["hidden_id"], $item_id_list)) {
        foreach($cart_data as $keys => $values) {
            if($cart_data[$keys]["item_id"] == $_POST["hidden_id"]) {
                $cart_data[$keys]["item_quantity"] = $cart_data[$keys]["item_quantity"] + $_POST["quantity"];
            }
        }
    } else {
        $item_array = array(
                  'item_id'   => $_POST["hidden_id"],
                  'item_name'   => $_POST["hidden_name"],
                  'item_price'  => $_POST["hidden_price"],
                   'item_quantity'  => $_POST["quantity"]
                  );
        $cart_data[] = $item_array;
    }


    $item_data = json_encode($cart_data);
    setcookie('shopping_cart', $item_data, time() + (86400 * 30),'/');
    header("location:show.php");
}

This is the code for retrieving cookie data from add.php,this code is another page called show.php 

<?php
if(isset($_COOKIE["shopping_cart"])) {
    $total = 0;
    $cookie_data = stripslashes($_COOKIE['shopping_cart']);
    $cart_data = json_decode($cookie_data, true);

    foreach($cart_data as $keys => $values){
?>  

        <p> <?php echo   $values["item_id"];?></p> 
        <p> <?php echo   $values["item_quantity"];?></p> 
        <p> <?php echo   $values["item_name"];?></p> 
        <p> <?php echo   $values["item_body"]; ?></p> 

<?php
    }
}
?>

All i want to do is to get the cookie data that is been set from the add page to be displayed on the show page

try putting the header first then set your cookie

Like this:

  header("location:show.php");  
  setcookie('shopping_cart', $item_data, time() + (86400 * 30),'/');
