The PHP Cookie Manager is a simple and effective class for managing cookies in PHP applications. This class provides static methods to set, get, delete, and list cookies easily, allowing for straightforward cookie management without the need for instantiation.

Installation

To use the PHP Cookie Manager in your project, simply include the Cookie.php file in your project. You can also install it via Composer.

Usage

Setting a Cookie

To set a cookie, use the set method. You can specify the cookie name, value, and expiration time in days.

use natilosir\cookie\Cookie;

// Set a cookie
Cookie::set('username', 'JohnDoe', 7); // Expires in 7 days

Getting a Cookie

To retrieve the value of a cookie, use the get method.

// Get the cookie value
$username = Cookie::get('username');
echo 'Username: ' . $username; // Outputs: Username: JohnDoe

Deleting a Cookie

To delete a cookie, use the delete method.

// Delete the cookie
Cookie::delete('username');

Listing All Cookies

To list all cookies available in the current session, use the list method.

// List all cookies
$allCookies = Cookie::list();
print_r($allCookies); // Outputs all cookies
