help with cookies

[eluser]vecima[/eluser]
thanks for the reply.

since posting i had changed cookie code in the "change" method in the "Style" controller to this:

Code:

$style_cookie = array(
                   'name'   => 'MyPreferredStyle',
                   'value'  => $newStyle,
               );

        set_cookie($style_cookie);

but the cookie still isn't being set. does it matter where i load the cookie helper?
currently I'm loading the cookie helper in the Style controller's constructor like this:

Code:

function Style()
    {
        parent::Controller();        
        
        $this->load->helper('cookie');
    }

and the same way in the other controllers' constructors (since they need to get_cookie, if i can get it to set one.
