<title>Cookies</title>

PHP transparently supports <acronym>HTTP</acronym> cookies. Cookies are a mechanism for
|
|
storing data in the remote browser and thus tracking or identifying return
|
|
users. You can set cookies using the <function>setcookie</function> or
|
|
<function>setrawcookie</function>
|
|
function. Cookies are part of the <acronym>HTTP</acronym> header, so
|
|
<function>setcookie</function> must be called before any output is sent to
|
|
the browser. This is the same limitation that <function>header</function>
|
|
has. You can use the <link linkend="ref.outcontrol">output buffering
|
|
functions</link> to delay the script output until you have decided whether
|
|
or not to set any cookies or send any headers.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Any cookies sent to you from the client will automatically be included into
|
|
a <link linkend="reserved.variables.cookies">$_COOKIE</link> auto-global
|
|
array if <link linkend="ini.variables-order">variables_order</link>
|
|
contains "C". If you wish to assign multiple values to a single
|
|
cookie, just add <literal>[]</literal> to the cookie name.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Depending on <link linkend="ini.register-globals">register_globals</link>,
|
|
regular PHP variables can be created from cookies. However it's not
|
|
recommended to rely on them as this feature is often turned off for the
|
|
sake of security.
|
|
<varname>$HTTP_COOKIE_VARS</varname> is also set in earlier versions of PHP
|
|
when the <link linkend="ini.track-vars">track_vars</link> configuration
|
|
variable is set. (This setting is always on since PHP 4.0.3.)
