$sale_value would have worked if it hadn't been in single quotes, I
believe. (Assuming it was populated.). When you put it in quotes, you
were making the cookie's value a string instead of a variable. So, the
value would actually have literally been $sale_value, rather than the
value for that variable. It is working with $_POST['sale'] because
there are no single quotes. :-p.
