Retrieving Cookie

Basis

If your cookie hasn’t expired yet, let’s retrieve it from the user’s PC using the aptly named $_COOKIE associative array. The name of your stored cookie is the key and will let you retrieve your stored cookie value!

Ex

<?php
if(isset($_COOKIE[‘lastVisit’]))
$visit = $_COOKIE[‘lastVisit’];

echo “Your last visit was – “. $visit;
?>

Outline

Here we have used isset function to be sure that our “lastVisit” cookie still exists on the user’s PC, if it does, then the user’s last visit is displayed.
