Get cookie expiration

Question

Is it possible to read cookie expiration time with php ? When I print_r($_COOKIE) it outputs:

Array
(
    [PHPSESSID] => 0afef6bac83a7db8abd9f87b         


        

Answer 1

Only name and value are sent to the server so no other cookie data is available.

You can simply re-set the cookie if you want to extend its duration - that's just a few bytes more in the response so it doesn't matter at all.
