When the user first visits your site, there is no skin in your cookie. Then you can give a default value. And after the user modifies his/her profile, you can set it to the cookie. So I don't think it is a problem of setting cookie.

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? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
