PHP Cookie Theme Help

Hi
I have a system which is supposed to allow each user to choose a theme, and then it gives a different CSS Style Sheet depending on which selection is made, if no selection is made or a new user visits the default style sheet, in this case 'default' is used.
However all that shows is the default style sheet, how can I get it to use the correct style sheet?

Code to check if cookie present on index.php
---

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
media="screen" title="User
Defined Style" href="<?php
$sitestyle = (!isset($sitestyle)) ? "default" : $sitestyle;
echo $sitestyle;
?>.css" />

---
Code to choose style sheet
---

<form action="switcher.php" method="post">
<select name="set">
<option value="default" selected>Simple</option>
<option value="red">Red</option>
<option value="crazy">Crazy</option>
<option value="warm">Warm</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Change Style"><a href="javascript:popup('help.php#style')">help</a> </form>

---
Code of switcher.php
---

<?php
setcookie ('sitestyle', $HTTP_GET_VARS['set'], time()+31536000, '/', 'swamp.hostcubed.com', '0'); header("Location: $HTTP_REFERER");
?>

--

As mentioned there is no error given, it only uses the default style sheet no matter what.

Any help would be appreciated.

Are you doing $sitestyle = $_COOKIES['sitestyle']; at any point to get the variable from the cookie?

I have just added it so it now looks like
--

<?php
$sitestyle = $_COOKIES['sitestyle'];
?>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
media="screen" title="User
Defined Style" href="<?php
$sitestyle = (!isset($sitestyle)) ? "default" : $sitestyle;
echo $sitestyle;
?>.css" />
