My code working. Just one error. After the cookie is set and I refresh the page with Cntl-F5, the link description is not display to delete the cookie, but the link itself is on the page.

echo "<a href='delete_cookie.php'>Wanted to delete cookie?</a>";

The words "Wanted to delete cookie" is not display until I click on the link to delete the cookie.

Ok. my cookie is being created but it seems it not being loaded when the page is reseted (color goes back to white and delete link does not appear)

In coockie.php I have added:
If ($background)
{
echo "<html>";
echo "<head><title>Selected Background Color</title></head>";
echo "<body bgcolor='$bachground' vlink='$background'>";
echo "<a href='delete_cookie.php'>Delete Cookie</a>";
echo "</body>";
echo "</html>";
}

in set coockie I have added:
setcookie("background",$bgcolor,time()+3600);

echo "<html>";
echo "<head><title>Selected Background Color</title></head>";
echo "<body bgcolor='$bgcolor'>";
echo "</body>";
echo "</html>";

$background stays null after refreshing.

What am I missing? sad smiley

Taki,

Check the spelling of your variable $background in cookie.php, and set your vlink to 'white'

I'm battling with this one - no error messages but it doesn't work. Any ideas?


COOKIE.php
<?php

if ($background)
{
echo "<html>";
echo "<head><title>Selected Background Color</title></head>";
echo "<body bgcolor='$background' vlink='white'>";
echo "<a href='delete_cookie.php'>Delete cookie</a>";
echo"</body>";
echo "</html>";
}




else
{
echo "<html>";
echo "<head><title>Select a Background Color</title></head>";
echo "<body>";
echo "<form method=GET action='setcookie.php'>";
echo "Select a background color";
echo "<br>";
echo "<input name='color' TYPE='radio' VALUE='Yellow'> Yellow";
echo "<br>";
echo "<input name='color' TYPE='radio' VALUE='Blue'> Blue";
echo "<br>";
echo "<input name='color' TYPE='radio' VALUE='Silver'> Silver";
echo "<br>";
echo "<input name='color' TYPE='radio' VALUE='Beige'> Beige";
echo "<br>";
echo "<br>";
echo "<input type='submit'>";
echo "</form>";
echo "</body>";
echo "</html>";
}
?>

SETCOOKIE.php
<?php

$color=$_POST['color'];

switch ($color) {
case "Yellow":
$bgcolor="#FFCC00";
break;
case "Blue":
$bgcolor="#4682B4";
break;
case "Silver":
$bgcolor="#C0C0C0";
break;
case "Beige":
$bgcolor="#FFE4C4";
break;

}

setcookie ("background", $bgcolor, time()+3600);



echo "<html>";
echo "<head><title>Selected Background Color</title></head>";
echo "<body bgcolor='$bgcolor'>";
echo "</body>";
echo "</html>";
?>

completed topic.

just a question, I think it appeared somewhere before.

What is better? since i am checking out libbyy code

running html inside the php like libby did or running html code and addning in <!php tags where php is needed?
