[SOLVED] PHP Cookies

[s1yman]

Hello all,

 

I was wondering if anyone knows how to activate a cookie upon clicking a button, I first of all tried putting it into a "onClick=" (using a href="javascript:refresh()") with no luck. . . I thought about using a pop-up window which sets the cookie then closes its-self. But that just looks messy.

Anyone got any better ideas?

 

Thank you.

if (!isset($_REQUEST['my-cookie']) && isset($_REQUEST['specific-button-click'])) {

    setcookie('my-cookie', $data, ..);

}

please excuse my stupidity, but where abouts would that fit into the code?

ok, heres the button

 

<?php
if (isset($_POST['create']))
{
    //create cookie here
}
?>
<form method="post" action="">
<input type="submit" value="Create Cookie" name="create">
</form>
