class CookieJar implements Cookie_Backend (View source)

A default backend for the setting and getting of cookies

This backend allows one to better test Cookie setting and separate cookie handling from the core

Properties

protected array $existing

Hold the cookies that were existing at time of instantiation (ie: The ones sent to PHP by the browser)

protected array $current

Hold the current cookies (ie: a mix of those that were sent to us and we have set without the ones we've cleared)

protected array $new

Hold any NEW cookies that were set by the application and will be sent in the next response

Methods

public
__construct(array $cookies = [])

When creating the backend we want to store the existing cookies in our "existing" array. This allows us to distinguish between cookies we received or we set ourselves (and didn't get from the browser)

public
set(string $name, string $value, float $expiry = 90, string $path = null, string $domain = null, bool $secure = false, bool $httpOnly = true)

Set a cookie

public
string|null
get(string $name, bool $includeUnsent = true)

Get the cookie value by name

public
array
getAll(bool $includeUnsent = true)

Get all the cookies

public
forceExpiry(string $name, string $path = null, string $domain = null, bool $secure = false, bool $httpOnly = true)

Force the expiry of a cookie by name

protected
bool
outputCookie(string $name, string|array $value, int $expiry = 90, string $path = null, string $domain = null, bool $secure = false, bool $httpOnly = true)

The function that actually sets the cookie using PHP
