[PHP] setcookie().. how to retrieve data afterward?

[Andrew Rose]

Ive been playing with setcookie() and am stuck with trying to re-pull the
infomation I set,  I use:

 setcookie ("user_id", $userid, 1, "", "", 1);

 to set the cookie and:

if(isset( $user_id )){
 echo " cookie 'user_id': $user_id\n";
} else

 echo" no cookie set ...\n";
}

to see if its there.. now this is the closest Ive seen anyone else do it and
to me it dosnt make much sense at all the code for retrieving.. also it
dosnt work.. suprise suprise.. so anyone know how to do this?

thanks in advance

If you just echo $userid you will get the results.

do this
setcookie ("cookie_variable", "chocalate chip", 1, "", "", 1);

echo $cookie_variable

You can name the cookie_variable whatever you want and that will be referenced
as the variable to store "chocalate chip".
Now if you want to see the value from within a function you will need to also do
this:

 global $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS;

this will enable you to see the values stored in the cookies.
