PHP setcookie

How to set php setcookie 




Syntax php setcookie:

setcookie(username,$_POST['username'],time()+60*60*24*365,'/account','www.example.com');
setcookie(password,$_POST['password'],time()+60*60*24*365,'/account','www.example.com');

Syntax. setcookie(name, value, expire, path, domain, secure, httponly);

  • In the above example we set two cookies for 'Username' and 'Password'with values $_POST['username'] and $_POST['password'].
  • And assign a time of one year because 60*60*24*365=1 year.
  • These 3 parameter are very important for setting cookie
  • Now the username and password for www.example.com has been saved for one year .You don't need to enter username and password again & again.
