Web development, sooner or later, requires dealing with cookies. I've found using Javascript to handle cookies preferable over using php. Reason; "Header already sent" errors.  Generally reading a cookie is not a problem in php and requires less code.

Here's some code I've gathered and modified for my own use for cookie manipulation;

 

function set_cookie( name, value, expires ) {
//expects
//( 'name', 'value', '#days' )

// set time, it's in milliseconds
var today = new Date();
today.setTime( today.getTime() );

/*
if the expires variable is set, make the correct
expires time, the current script below will set
it for x number of days, to make it for hours,
delete * 24, for minutes, delete * 60 * 24
*/
if ( expires )
{
expires = expires * 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24;
}
var expires_date = new Date( today.getTime() + (expires) );

document.cookie = name + "=" +escape( value ) +
( ( expires ) ? ";expires=" + expires_date.toGMTString() : "" );
}

 

function get_cookie ( cookie_name )
{
var results = document.cookie.match ( '(^|;) ?' + cookie_name + '=([^;]*)(;|$)' );

if ( results )
return ( unescape ( results[2] ) );
else
return null;
}

 

function delete_cookie ( cookie_name ) {
var cookie_date = new Date ( );  // current date & time
cookie_date.setTime ( cookie_date.getTime() - 1 );
document.cookie = cookie_name += "=; expires=" + cookie_date.toGMTString();
}
