Cookies Welcome to the cookies tutorial, today you will learn how to store data in cookies.

To use cookies you need to have a code at the top of your page.
Code:

ob_start();
?>

A basic cookie would look like this
Code:

setcookie('Name','value');
?>

That's a basic cookie, you can set time limits to cookies so they time out after an amount of time.
An example of this would be

Code:

setcookie('Name','Value',time() 3600);
?>

The cookie above will expire in 1 hour.

As for deleting a cookie you would set the expiration to a - number, so it would have expired by now.
Code:

setcookie('Name','Value',time()-3600);
?>

that sets the expiration date to 1 hour ago.
