    what error are you getting?

    anyways a quick glance on your code makes this stand out... please try to replace it with the code below

    setcookie($_GET['r'],'blah',time()+86400);

    regarding a one small part of your script:

    '{$_GET['r']}'
    PHP:
    Above is wrong

    So, you can either use:
    setcookie($_GET['r'],'blah',time()+86400);
    PHP:
    or
    setcookie("{$_GET['r']}",'blah',time()+86400);
    PHP:
