Class: Cookie

[line 78]
Cookie is a class that is used to give auto-generated Cookie variables their own distinct namespace, so as not to conflict with other auto-generated variables, such as CGI data. The Cookie class gets its data from the $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS hash.

New in 1.2:

• Added support for the PHP $_COOKIE, etc. variables, via an if statement so as to be backward-compatible with the deprecated $HTTP_*_VARS variables.

New in 1.4:

• Added the prependDot() method.

New in 1.6:

• Now relies on the $_COOKIE superglobal only, but calls "global $_COOKIE;" so that in versions of PHP below 4.1.0, you can create a reference to the old $HTTP_*_VARS using the new $_* names.

New in 1.8:

• Fixed a bug with the automatic stripslashes() and fields that are arrays.

New in 2.0:

• Removed a preg_match() call and replaced it with a substr_count call, which is faster AND more effective, in the prependDot() method.

New in 2.2:

• Fixed a syntax error that was causing problems with cookies with positive expiry times.

1     <?php
2     
3      $cookie = new Cookie;
4     
5      if (! empty ($cookie->session_id)) {
6          // do something with the cookie
7      } else {
8          // set the cookie
9          $cookie->set ("session_id", "value", 1800, "/", ".site.com", 0);
10     }
