How are you doing it right now?

For the setcookie() function, see http://us3.php.net/setcookie

Cookies have to be set before anything is output to the page, so you'll have
to call a script with the value of the selection. From how you describe it,
it would probably be easiest to do this with GET, then the script would
retrieve that value and set the cookie accordingly:

<?
if (isset($_GET["MyValue"])) { setcookie("My_Value",$_GET["MyValue"]); }
?>
