Free PHP cookie tools for neat and powerful projects!

Documentation

PHPCookie is a tiny package for working with cookies and encrypting them. It implemented the easy way to access and manipulating cookies with assuming security issues. This package uses PHPCrypt package for encryption.

Installation

Using Composer

It's strongly recommended to use Composer. If you are not familiar with Composer, The article How to use composer in php projects can be useful. After installing Composer, go to your project root directory and run following command there:

composer require miladrahimi/phpcookie

Or if you have composer.json file already in your application, you may add this package to your application requirements and update your dependencies:

"require": {
    "miladrahimi/phpcookie": "~1.5"
}

composer update

Manually

You can use your own autoloader as long as it follows PSR-0 or PSR-4 standards. In this case you can put src directory content in your vendor directory.

Getting Started

It's so easy to use! It uses PHPCrypt package to encrypt and decrypt data. So if you use Composer everything will be ok otherwise you must download this package too. After installation of this package you must inject it to Cookie class. See the example to grasp all what you need to know:

use MiladRahimi\PHPCookie\Cookie;
use MiladRahimi\PHPCrypt\Crypt;

$project_key = "3303a3f4640d601566c02cb8fe16d96e";

$crypt = new Crypt();
$crypt->setKey($project_key);

$cookie = new Cookie();
$cookie->setCrypt($crypt);

$cookie->set("Singer", "Pink Floyd");

• First of all, you must set your project key to the instance of Crypt class.
• Second of all, you must inject Crypt object to Cookie class via Cookie::setCrypt() method.
• You can use Cookie::set() and Cookie::get() to set and get data in cookies.
• The Cookie::set() parameters matches with native PHP setCookie function.

Getting data from cookies

There is get() method in Cookie class which you can use to get data from cookie.

echo $cookie->get("Singer");

Encryption

All cookies will be encrypted. If you set cookie via this package, you have to use this package to get it too.

PHPCookieException

There are some situation which PHPCookieException will be thrown. Here are methods and messages:

• Crypt object is not set in Cookie::set() when you use this method before injecting Crypt instance to the class.
• Crypt object is not set in Cookie::get() when you use this method before injecting Crypt instance to the class.
• The cookie value not exists in Cookie::get() when you trying to get some cookie value which not exists.
