PHP setcookie for 1 Year will not work

Question

I\'m trying to set a PHP cookie to expire 1 Year from when the user logged in, and I\'m doing it this way:

setcookie(\"myCookie\",\'exampleUserName\',(365 *          


        

Answer 1

The third param is the time in future that mean time() + time in seconds. Your 365 * 24 * 60 means 1971 ( 1970 + 1 ), this is in the past. Cookie in past will not be used - people set cookie to the past time to clear cookie. Do exactly like Shankar.

Answer 2

Do like this...

setcookie("myCookie",'exampleUserName',time()+31556926 ,'/');// where 31556926 is total seconds for a year.

Answer 3

setcookie($cookie_name, $cookie_value, strtotime("+1 year"));

Answer 4

Try this:

<?php
       setcookie("TestName", "Test Value", time()+3600 * 24 * 365);
?>

>> Here 'TestName' is name of cookie.
>> "Test Value" is value to store.
>> time()+3600 * 24 * 365 - will set cookie time till 1 year.

Thanks!

Answer 5

try this one

setcookie($cookie_name, $cookie_value, time() + ( 365 * 24 * 60 * 60));
