Forum Creating of regular cookies

posted 10 years ago

Hi, I'm starting to learn Laravel framework. I was reading documentation about laravel and also, I was debuging every example on my local server. So my problem is cookies, I have a question "How to create a regular cookie on Laravel framework?"... There is a example of creating cookies using pure/native PHP:

setcookie('name', 'value', time()+3600);

I want to get similar result on Laravel framework...

Notice: I had already tried following code, but it didn't work...

Cookie::make('name', 'value', $minutes)

In time field you only have to pass time in minutes so in your case just pass 60

If you look at laravel source In namespace Illuminate\Cookie - CookieJar.php file you can look at this method.

public function make($name, $value, $minutes = 0, $path = null, $domain = null, $secure = false, $httpOnly = true)
	{
		list($path, $domain) = $this->getPathAndDomain($path, $domain);

		$time = ($minutes == 0) ? 0 : time() + ($minutes * 60);

		return new Cookie($name, $value, $time, $path, $domain, $secure, $httpOnly);
	}
