You can set cookies by using the setcookie($name, $value) function. Reading cookies in PHP is extremely easy — just refer to them by name.

To keep track of how many times someone accesses your site, for example, try this code:

$MyCookieName = "visits";
if (!$visits) {
$visits = 0;
}
$visits = $visits + 1;
setcookie($MyCookieName, $visits);
