Extra Cookie Features

[simon622]

Hey guys and gals,

Does anybody know of a way to check a $_COOKIE[]'s parametres so we know when it is about to expire.

I need to check the status of a cookie every so often, and then ask them to refresh some details, which in turn will refresh the cookie, and re-set the expiry time if it is within 10 minutes of expiry.

EG:

if(getTimeLeft($_COOKIE['someVar']) < minToSecs(10)){
//Refresh the $_COOKIE['someVar']
}

I suppose the question is, does anyone know of a feature similar to getTimeLeft() in above example? Or if not, how should I start writing it??

Cheers people,

Si

Im not too sure if you actually can do that. But there is only one way to find out..

do this

print_r($_COOKIE);

if you can see the time for it than its possible just get the array associated with it.

I dont think its possible and i cant test it where i am cos i dont not have a Web Server or PHP Installed.
