Another cookie post 1

I have a lot of experience in Cold Fusion, but 0 php experience. My needs are simple, and I really hope someone out there can help me.

I do not want to use session variables, I want to use cookies. This is an intranet application.

Here's what i'd like to do:
1) <a href=&quot;save.php?udTrack=3&quot;>Track 3</a> If the user clicks this link, the variable udTrack will be passed to save.php.
2) Set a cookie named TRACK = udTrack which was passed in the URL string.
3) Read the cookie TRACK on any other php page on my web site.

This will give me a starting point at least, and would be extremely helpful in my education of PHP.

thanks in advance for your time

Why do you not want to use session variables? All PHP will do is set one cookie on the client web client, and you can have a host of variables available to all successive pages.

But URL input will be available in the superglobal array $_GET (

To set a cookie, use set_cookie() (
