setcookie("cookie_name", "value");
//redirect to another page using header
header("location:".$your_url);
//check in $your_url for the presence for the cookie
if ($_COOKIE["cookie_name"] == "value"){
//cookies are enabled - add your code
}
else{
//cookies are disabled - add your code
}
Hope that helps!
