How To Get Cookie's Name In PHP? - php

Question

I want to get cookie's name in PHP. Not cookie's value! My code like below:
<?php
session_start();
ob_start();
$user_id = $_GET["user_id"];
$timing_clock = "";
if(isset($_COOKIE["timing_type"])){
// cookie's value
$timing_clock = setcookie("timing_type");
// how to get cookie's name?
} else {
echo("0");
}
?>
How can i do that? I want to set cookie's name to a variable. Because cookie's name are very important for me.

Answer 1

it will help you, use var_dump($_COOKIE) and get all COOKIE name.
$cookie_name = "user";
$cookie_value = "Dave";
setcookie($cookie_name, $cookie_value, time() + (86400 * 30), "/");
if(isset($_COOKIE)) {
var_dump($_COOKIE);
foreach($_COOKIE as $key => $val)
{
echo "cookie name = ".$key.", and value = ".$val;
}
}

Answer 2

This will print all with respective name
<pre>
<?php print_r($_COOKIE); ?>
</pre>

Answer 3

In this example
setcookie("timing_type");
the cookie name would be $_COOKIE['timing_type']
When you use the setcookie function you are applying the cookie name(key).

Answer 4

All cookies names are stored in $_COOKIE as "Name" => "value".
Simply output the keys of the $_COOKIE array and you'll have your names :)

Answer 5

Simply read $_COOKIE["name"] to get the name set by setcookie

Answer 6

The first paramater of setcookie() is the name of the cookie
<?php
session_start();
ob_start();
$user_id = $_GET["user_id"];
$timing_clock = "";
if(isset($_COOKIE["timing_type"])){
// cookie's value
$timing_clock = setcookie("timing_type");
// how to get cookie's name?
$cookie_name = $_COOKIE['timing_type'];
} else {
echo("0");
}
?>
