using cookies for themes

[dazed]

I've been trying to load themes up using cookies. the cookie won't set right when i call to the script like settheme?theme=red,blue,orange,etc..

this is the script i'm using:

<?
GLOBAL $theme;
switch ($theme) :
case("red") :
setcookie("theme", red, (time() + (3600 24 365 10)), "/");

header("Location: $HTTP_REFERER");

break;
case("green") :
setcookie("theme", green, (time() + (3600 24 365 10)), "/");

header("Location: $HTTP_REFERER");

break;
case("orange") :
setcookie("theme", orange, (time() + (3600 24 365 10)), "/");

header("Location: $HTTP_REFERER");

break;
default:
setcookie("theme", blue, (time() + (3600 24 365 10)), "/");

header("Location: $HTTP_REFERER");

endswitch;

?>

It will only set the $theme too blue and i have no idea why. thanks!

Well, its obviously only going to the default case and hence is only setting it to blue. The questions is why doesn't it match against the other cases? I would recommend putting:

echo $theme;

Just before your switch so that you can see what it is getting set to. This may lead to some info on why its not working...
