Setting a cookie:


<?php

setcookie( "visit", "art", time()+3600, "/", $SERVER_NAME, 0);

?>

Printing a cookie:

Hello you. This may be your first visit

PHP code:


	if ( isset( $visit ) )

		print "<p>'Hello again, you visited this site for $visit</p>";

	else

		print "<p>Hello you. This may be your first visit</p>";

Deleting a cookie

To delete a cookie you call setcookie() with the name argument only:


setcookie("mycookie");

The safer way is to set a cookie with the date that has already expired:


setcookie( "visit", "art", time()-3600, "/", $SERVER_NAME, 0);
