Testing Cookies on a Web Server in PHP
How To Test Cookies on a Web Server in PHP?
✍: FYIcenter.com
If you want to test cookies with a browser, you need to run a Web server locally, or have access to a Web server remotely. Then you can copy the following PHP cookie test page, setting_receiving_cookies.php, to the Web server:
<?php setcookie("LoginName","FYICenter"); setcookie("PreferredColor","Blue"); print("<pre>\n"); print("2 cookies were delivered.\n"); if (isset($_COOKIE["LoginName"])) { $loginName = $_COOKIE["LoginName"]; print("Received a cookie named as LoginName: ".$loginName."\n"); } else { print("Did not received any cookie named as LoginName.\n"); } $count = count($_COOKIE); print("$count cookies received.\n"); foreach ($_COOKIE as $name => $value) { print " $name = $value\n"; } print("</pre>\n"); ?>
If you open this PHP page with a browser as http://localhost/setting_receiving_cookies.php, you will get:
2 cookies were delivered. Did not received any cookie named as LoginName. 0 cookies received.
"0 cookies received" is because there was no previous visit from this browser. But if you click the refresh button of your browser, you will get:
2 cookies were delivered. Received a cookie named as LoginName: FYICenter 2 cookies received. LoginName = FYICenter PreferredColor = Blue
