A cookie is a “text file” that is stored in the browser and collects various information from a webpage, such as identifying user preferences, displaying relevant content based on searches, and most importantly, remembering user access and credentials.

Let’s see how to work with cookies in PHP.

  • CREATE COOKIE:
setcookie(name, content, expiration, path, domain, secure, httponly)

// The last parameter is a boolean value, meaning it should be set to true or false.

You don’t need to fill in all the fields, just the ones you need or want.

  • DELETE COOKIE:

Here are 2 ways to delete a cookie:

// Set the expiration to the past and set the cookie value to null
setcookie('name', '', time() - 3600);

// Delete the cookie by just specifying its name
setcookie('name');

That’s all for today! I hope you like it, but most importantly, I hope it helps you. See you in the next one.
