I am using a cookie to detect what skin a user wants to display. The problem is if a user visits the site for the first time the cookie is not being set. I am detecting if its being set or not with if(!isset($_COOKIE['skin'])){ ... } It's not setting the cookie untill a user refreshes the page once. How can I ensure it's set when it hasnt been set before?
