Question

I am trying to set a cookie in a symfony2 project.
Everything is working fine, except that the cookie is deleted once the browser is closed. I tried to set an expiration time but it throws an error : Expiry date cannot have a year greater then 9999

How can I fix it?

Here is my code:

$time = time() * 3600 * 24 * 7;
$response = new Response();
$response->headers->setCookie(new Cookie('lang', $lang, $time));
$response->send();

Answer 1

Your $time calculation should be

$time = time() + (3600 * 24 * 7);
