$cookie = array(
                   'name'   => 'The Cookie Name',
                   'value'  => 'The Value',
                   'expire' => '86500',
                   'domain' => '.some-domain.com',
                   'path'   => '/',
                   'prefix' => 'myprefix_',
               );
 
set_cookie($cookie);

OR

1

set_cookie($name, $value, $expire, $domain, $path, $prefix);

Now that we have set the cookie lets get it!

get_cookie('some_cookie');
