Example
Create a controller called Cookie_controller.php and save it at application/controller/Cookie_controller.php
<?php class Cookie_controller extends CI_Controller { function __construct() { parent::__construct(); $this->load->helper(array('cookie', 'url')); } public function index() { set_cookie('cookie_name','cookie_value','3600'); $this->load->view('Cookie_view'); } public function display_cookie() { echo get_cookie('cookie_name'); $this->load->view('Cookie_view'); } public function deletecookie() { delete_cookie('cookie_name'); redirect('cookie/display'); } } ?>
Create a view file called Cookie_view.php and save it at application/views/Cookie_view.php
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang = "en"> <head> <meta charset = "utf-8"> <title>CodeIgniter View Example</title> </head> <body> <a href = 'display'>Click Here</a> to view the cookie.<br> <a href = 'delete'>Click Here</a> to delete the cookie. </body> </html>
Change the routes.php file in application/config/routes.php to add route for the above controller and add the following line at the end of the file.
$route['cookie'] = "Cookie_controller"; $route['cookie/display'] = "Cookie_controller/display_cookie"; $route['cookie/delete'] = "Cookie_controller/deletecookie";
After that, you can execute the following URL in the browser to execute the example.
http://yoursite.com/index.php/cookie
It will produce an output as shown in the following screenshot.
