}
public function index() {
set_cookie('cookie_name','cookie_value','3600');
$this->load->view('Cookie_view');
}
public function display_cookie() {
echo get_cookie('cookie_name');
$this->load->view('Cookie_view');
}
public function deletecookie() {
delete_cookie('cookie_name');
redirect('cookie/display');
}
}
?>
Create a view file called Cookie_view.php and save it atapplication/views/Cookie_view.php
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang = "en">
<head>
<meta charset = "utf-8">
<title>CodeIgniter View Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<a href = 'display'>Click Here</a> to view the cookie.<br>
<a href = 'delete'>Click Here</a> to delete the cookie.
</body>
</html>
Change the routes.php file in application/config/routes.php to add route for the above controller and add the following line at the end of the file.
$route['cookie'] = "Cookie_controller";
$route['cookie/display'] = "Cookie_controller/display_cookie";
$route['cookie/delete'] = "Cookie_controller/deletecookie";
After that, you can execute the following URL in the browser to execute the example.
http://yoursite.com/index.php/cookie
