I have a checkbox that when I click I want it to set a cookie with a value of an array. But when I click on the checkbox it doesn't set my cookie.

I don't understand why it is not being set. Is there something wrong with how I am creating the array for the value of the cookie?

Here is my code:

 extract($_POST);

 $code = $_POST['code'];

 $total= 100;

 if(isset($save)){

        echo "Saved";

        $cookie = array(

            'name'   => $code,

            'value'  => $total,

    );

    setcookie("cookie",json_encode($cookie),86500);

}



 if(isset($_COOKIE['cookie'])){

        echo "SET";

    }else{

        echo "NOT SET";

    }





<form method='post'>

     <input type="checkbox" name="save" value="1">Save

     <input name='code' />

</form

My Answer:
"Checkbox clicked!";_ $cookie_value = array('code' => $code, 'total' => $total);_ setcookie('my_cookie', json_encode($cookie_value), time() + 3600, '/');_ } else {_ echo "Checkbox not clicked!";_ }_ ?>

Make sure that your form has a method of "post" and that the checkbox input has a name attribute of "save" so that the isset() function can check if it has been clicked. Also, make sure that the code you provided is within a form tag and that the form is being submitted when the checkbox is clicked.
