How to get a cookie value for input field? - php

Question

I have a form and I have set cookies to the input fields. I can find the cookies in resources when I go to inspect element. The code is confidential so I can't show how I set my cookies. But I am sure that I can find the selected input fields in resources->cookie.
The same form appears in all the pages. When I redirect from one page to other page the form fields which I selected must appear in all the pages.
I used the below code for getting the cookie value
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
if(input1 = getCookie("input1 "))
document.myform.input1.value = input1 ;
});
</script>
but I am getting error as Uncaught ReferenceError: getCookie is not defined
Can anyone suggest what would be the reason for this error? and how do I get the get cookie value to the input field?

Usually you should google it how to set cookie, not sure if you declare the function as something like getCookie?
<script type="text/javascript">
function setCookie(key, value) {
var expires = new Date();
expires.setTime(expires.getTime() + (1 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000));
document.cookie = key + '=' + value + ';expires=' + expires.toUTCString();
}
function getCookie(key) {
var keyValue = document.cookie.match('(^|;) ?' + key + '=([^;]*)(;|$)');
return keyValue ? keyValue[2] : null;
}
$(document).ready(function() {
setCookie("input1",'1');
alert(getCookie("input1"));
document.myform.input1.value = getCookie("input1");
});
</script>
