Style changes on website...

First off.. here is my website: http://chemical.dfonline.net/chemical

I have made some PHP that lets the user select different colour schemes depending on what he/she likes. It decides which Stylesheet to use based on a GET variable...

<?php
error_reporting ('e_all');  // Set PHP error reporting to all errors

// Declare style variables
global $style;
global $skin;


// Check to see if skin was specified with ?skin=skinname
if ($_GET[skin]) {

// A was specified, determine which

$skin = $_GET[skin];                 // Get variable from GET header

if ($skin == "classic") {            // Navy Blue Colours
    $style = "classic.css";
} elseif ($skin == "red") {          // Red
    $style = "red.css";
} elseif ($skin == "lightblue") {    // Light Blue
    $style = "blue.css";
} else {
    $style = "default.css";          // Unknown - Revert to default
}


} else {
    // ?skin=  not specified, use default skin
    $style = 'default.css';
}

?>

<title>chemicalfusion</title>
<? echo "<link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='$style'>\n"; ?>

Then, I've got it adding a ?skin=whatever to the URL of the page.

The one thing I want it to be able to do is to save the selection of the user in a cookie, or by some other method... I just haven't got the faintest clue how though..

Firstly use switch so you can do it.. Much Faster than a whole load of if elseif else

Then in each bit save the cookie like this

setcookie("STYLE",$style,time()+3600);

Then calling the StyleSheet

with $_COOKIE['STYLE'];

<?php
error_reporting ('e_all');  // Set PHP error reporting to all errors

// Declare style variables
global $style;
global $skin;


// Check to see if skin was specified with ?skin=skinname or cookie
if ($_GET[skin]) {
    $skin = $_GET[skin];    // Set GET header variable Skin
    switch ($skin) {
        case "classic":     // Navy Blue
            $style = "classic.css";
            break;
        case "red":         // Reds
            $style = "red.css";
            break;
        case "lightblue":   // Light Blue
            $style = "lightblue.css";
            break;
        default:            // Default greys
            $style = "default.css";
    }
    setcookie('style',$style,time()+3600);  // Set Cookie to save
} elseif ($_COOKIE['style']) {
    $skin = $_COOKIE['style'];
} else {
    $style = "default.css";
}

?>

Here is what i have now... but it doesn't seem to be writing a cookie. I cleared my cookies, and looked at the folder, it just isn't making a cookie. To check, I logged into another site, and that did create one...
