You need to declair the cookie as a global if you intend to use it within a function.
function ReturnCookie()
{
$cookieName = "Test_Cookie";
global $$cookieName;
if (isset($$cookieName))
{
echo ("$cookieName is set");
$returnvalue = $$cookieName;
}
else
{
$newCookieValue = "Test Value";
setcookie("$cookieName","$newCookieValue", (time() + 3153600));
echo ("made a cookie:" . $newCookieValue ."<BR>");
$returnvalue = $newCookieValue;
}
echo ("the cookie that was set is now $returnvalue <BR>");
return $returnvalue;
}
