In PHP, we create a cookie with a setcookie()
function. In the function, we specify the key and the contents of the value to be sent to the scanner and also specify how long it will be stored in the browser.
<?php
setcookie ('cookie', 'salute world');
?>
In the example above, we created a cookie called cookie
and we made the value salute world
. And because we didn’t enter anything as parameter 3, by default the cookie will be deleted when the browser is closed.
If we want the cookie to be deleted at a date we want, we will enable the 3rd parameter. Here is an example of this:
<?php
setcookie ('cookie', 'salute world', time () + (60 * 60 * 24));
?>
Now that we have entered the 3rd time () + (60 * 60 * 24)
this parameter in the current time in seconds 60 * 60 * 24
exactly 24 hours that we have added a day.
This means that the cookie we have created expires + 24 hours from now. After 1 day, this cookie will not be sent when you enter the site.
