PHP and Javascript cookies

Question

Can I access a cookie written with jQuery\'s cookie plug-in with PHP? I know you can\'t set Javascript equal to PHP or vice versa, but IN ESSENCE is:

$.cook         


        

Answer 1

Yes.

But... Klaus Hartl's jQuery cookie plugin (I'm assuming this is the one you are using) defaults to setting the cookie's path to that of the current document. If the PHP file you were trying to echo from was in a different folder, the cookie wouldn't have been sent.

You can set the cookie's path when you set the cookie:

$.cookie('name', val, { path: '/' });
