cookie value from a form

[Anon]

HI!
I would like to set some cookie with the values I get from a form, but the problem is the cookie must be set before the and by then the varibles is't declared, does anyone know how I can get this to work?

Just do the following at the beginning of the script:

if (isset($cookie_val)) {
setcookie("cookie", $cookie_val, 3600);
echo "Cookie set to $cookie_val.";
} else {
?>
<form action=<%=$PHP_SELF%>>
Enter value: <input type=text name=cookie_val>
<input type=submit value="Go!">
</form>

<?
}

and that will set the cookie 'cookie' to whatever the user entered in the cookie_val textbox.
