Also when I first run this at the top I get this error... Notice: Undefined index: typeset in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\testing\cookies.php on line 4 Notice: Undefined index: size_sel in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\testing\cookies.php on line 5
I assume its because the var have not been filled but I still need the lines there do I need to turn of warnings or something?

It is reading and passing the form data but the cookies is not being written or read here is my code. Also why can I not place these variables in line with the echo statement. If I do it doesn't work. I thought I could just echo "face=$_POST['type_sel'] " <- but it does not work. if ( $_POST['type_sel'] ) echo "face=" . $_POST['type_sel'] .
