I read that cookie values can be set after HTML content has been sent from a PHP script to the web server.
However, when working with this, I have not been able to set the cookies as I had hoped. Can someone straighten out my discrepancy?

PHP can only set cookies while sending the headers of the page (that is, before sending the content – the HTML).
This is how the HTTP protocol works regarding cookies, the server can send a request to the browser to store cookies.
If you wish to add cookies after the page loaded, you can do it via JavaScript.
