switch homepage on cookie

In my index PHP file, I have this simple code:

<?php
$enterprisecookie = "enterprise";
$personalcookie = "personal";

switch(!isset($_COOKIE)) {
case $enterprisecookie:
    include 'enterprise.php';
    break;
 case $personalcookie:
    include 'personal.php';
    break;
default:
    include 'portal.php';

}
?>

the idea is simple, when this cookie exist you go to this homepage and if you have none you go to a "portal" which will set the cookie. These are my buttons which sets the cookie.

        <a href="index.php"class="link" 
onClick="SetCookieper('personal','personal','1')"><button class="per"><h1> 
personal</h1>
        <p>texttexttext</p> </a>

        <a href="index.php" class="link" 
onClick="SetCookieent('enterprise','enteprise','1')"><button class="ent">
<h1> 
enterprise</h1>
        <p>textexttext</p>
        </button></a>

         <script>  function SetCookieper(c_name,value,expiredays)
        {
        var exdate=new Date()
        exdate.setDate(exdate.getDate()+expiredays)
        document.cookie=c_name+ "=" +escape(value)+
        ((expiredays==null) ? "" : ";expires="+exdate.toGMTString())
        }
        function SetCookieent(c_name,value,expiredays)
        {
        var exdate=new Date()
        exdate.setDate(exdate.getDate()+expiredays)
        document.cookie=c_name+ "=" +escape(value)+
        ((expiredays==null) ? "" : ";expires="+exdate.toGMTString())
        }</script>

the cookie sets but the page will still just go to the portal page, any advice?

You can use one Cookie where you set the mode, lets call it 'pagemode'.

then you can use the switch like this:

switch($_COOKIE['pagemode']){
    case 'enterprise': include 'enterprise.php'; break;
    case 'personal': include 'personal.php'; break;
    default: include 'portal.php';
}

If you really need 2 differently named cookies, use an if-ifelse-else statement:

if(isset($_COOKIE['enterprise'])){
    include 'enterprise.php';
} else if(isset($_COOKIE['personal'])){
    include 'personal.php';
} else {
    include 'portal.php';
}

In case you want to use the first method (one single cookie saving the mode of the homepage), you can set the cookie like this:

<a href="index.php"class="link" 
onClick="SetCookie('pagemode','personal',1)"><button class="per"><h1> 
personal</h1>
        <p>texttexttext</p> </a>

        <a href="index.php" class="link" 
onClick="SetCookie('pagemode','enterprise',1)"><button class="ent">
<h1> 
enterprise</h1>
        <p>textexttext</p>
        </button></a>

<script>  
function SetCookie(c_name,value,expiredays)
{
    var exdate=new Date();
    exdate.setDate(exdate.getDate()+expiredays);
    document.cookie=c_name+ "=" +escape(value)+
    ((expiredays==null) ? "" : ";expires="+exdate.toGMTString());
}
</script>

Your switch check is invalid, you need to pass a parameter for it to check, not the whole $_COOKIE array.

So essentially what you'd have to do is have a the same key for both cookies and compare the values instead of comparing the key name, that is if you wish to use a switch statement.

Or you could just use a simple if elseif else to keep things simpler.
