At 4:44 in this video: https://teamtreehouse.com/library/writing-cookies Alena writes a url that ends with ?save and says it saves the cookie. Can one execute operations on server side php folders using this syntax?

She says that our story is ready to be saved to a cookie. When you click on the anchor, it goes to the page 'inc/cookie.php' with the GET parameter of "save" set. If you take a look at 2:30, the code she is starting to write is where the cookie is actually saved. When she writes the if statement at 2:00, adding the "?save" in the URL triggers that if block. This is because $_GET now contains the key save.
Hope this kind of clears things up!
