Cookies - PHP & TXP:Variables

Hi,

I’ve been looking at chs_cookies as a way of handling cookies in a <txp> style tag.

Unfortunately it looks neglected and doesn’t work with <txp:else /> and sets only session cookies unless you fiddle with the plugin code.

So I look to PHP … using something like this for a user to set their own limit for articles shown on the frontpage.

<txp:php> if(isset($_COOKIE['limit'])) $limit = $_COOKIE['limit']; else $limit = 20; <?php>

I know txp tags all equate to a equivalent php function … I’d like to set a <txp:variable /> to = $limit
Can someone give a code example of setting a <txp:variable/> in PHP

Thanks

Like so:

<txp:php> 
if(isset($_COOKIE['limit'])) $limit = $_COOKIE['limit']; else $limit = 20; 
variable(array('name' => 'limit', 'value' => $limit));
</txp:php>
