I’m having an issue creating / setting a cookie on the click of a link, is there a proper way to do this? Either PHP or Javascript is fine.
<html>
<a href="2.html" id="cookie">
<div class="yes">
<p>Yes</p>
</div>
</a>
</html>
<script>
$("a#cookie").bind("click", function() {
});
</script>
<?php
setcookie( "cookie")
?>
Obviously both JS and PHP wouldn’t exist in the same instance it was just to show what I have.

Answer
You can’t mix JavaScript and PHP. By the time your JavaScript code loads, your PHP code would have already executed.
In your case, it may be easier for you to set cookies without using PHP.
$("a#cookie").bind("click", function() {
document.cookie="cookie=value";
});
