Question

I am new to zend framework. I have write this code to set cookie in my website.

public function setCookie($data){
    $email_cookie = new Zend_Http_Cookie('user_email_id', $data['user_email_id'], $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], '', FALSE);
    $pass_cookie = new Zend_Http_Cookie('user_password', $data['user_password'], $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], '', FALSE);
    $cookie_jar = new Zend_Http_CookieJar();
    $cookie_jar->addCookie($email_cookie);
    $cookie_jar->addCookie($pass_cookie);
}

I dont even know by writing this code, my cookie is set or not?
now If I want to retrieve the cookie then how can I do it?

Answer 1

Zend_Http_Cookie is not for setting cookies. It is a class used by Zend_Http_Client for sending and receiving data from sites that require cookies. To set cookies just use the standard PHP setcookie() function:

setcookie('user_email_id', $data['user_email_id'], time() + 3600, '/');
setcookie('user_password', $data['user_password'], time() + 3600, '/');

this will set cookies that expire in 1 hour. You can then access these on subsequent requests using $_COOKIE['user_email_id'] and $_COOKIE['user_password']; or if you are using ZF’s MVC classes: $this->getRequest()->getCookie('user_email_id') (from a controller method).
