I’m building a cookie based shopping cart, I’m not sure if I should be using JavaScript or PHP for setting the cookies. Which would you use JS or whatever server side language you are using on the same project and why?

I would use what was appropriate for the specific situation.
Making a round trip to the server to set a cookie seems silly, and sending JS to the client to set a cookie the server generated also seems out of the way.
