Cookie

Note

For all Http features, Ubiquity uses technical classes containing static methods. This is a design choice to avoid dependency injection that would degrade performances.

The UCookie class provides additional functionality to more easily manipulate native $_COOKIES php array.

Cookie creation or modification

use Ubiquity\utils\http\UCookie;

$cookie_name = 'user';
$cookie_value = 'John Doe';
UCookie::set($cookie_name, $cookie_value);//duration : 1 day

Creating a cookie that lasts 5 days:

UCookie::set($cookie_name, $cookie_value,5*60*60*24);

On a particular domain:

UCookie::set($cookie_name, $cookie_value,5*60*60*24,'/admin');

Sending a cookie without urlencoding the cookie value:

UCookie::setRaw($cookie_name, $cookie_value);

Testing the cookie creation:

if(UCookie::setRaw($cookie_name, $cookie_value)){
     //cookie created
}

Retrieving a Cookie

$userName=UCookie::get('user');

Testing the existence

if(UCookie::exists('user')){
     //do something if cookie user exists
}

Using a default value

If the page cookie does not exist, the default value of 1 is returned:

$page=UCookie::get('page',1);

Deleting a cookie

Deleting the cookie with the name page:

UCookie::delete('page');

Deleting all cookies

Deleting all cookies from the entire domain:

UCookie::deleteAll();

Deleting all cookies from the domain admin:

UCookie::deleteAll('/admin');
