PHP Cookies Host Name

Website: web-tec.epizy.com

Hello i have a question it may be stupid
i wanted to use php cookies but in the parameters of the function i shuld type the host name
to secure the cookies…in xampp serever i used localhost it worked but after uploading the website it doesnt work
what is the host name here or how can i get it ??

In PHP, use the $_SERVER superglobal like this:

$hostname = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];

Then in setcookie(), use $hostname as the hostname.

EDIT: Example:

setcookie('cookie_name', 'cookie_value', time() + (86400 * 30), $_SERVER['SCRIPT_URI'], $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'], true, false); //86400 is the number of seconds in a day.

I hope you are asking about MySQLhost or server name which is equalent to localhost you mentioned above.

Here is the Admin reply for getting that.

i tried it didnt work this is the code

Does this help? Sorry I’m not good at .php (learning basics though!):

PHP: $_SERVER - Manual

no i’m sorry
i’m asking to know the host name to use it in php cookies
i connected the website to database successfully

What do you mean by “it didn’t work”? What do you actually see?

I connected to database successfully this is not the problem I’m asking for the host name to use in php cookies

What is the error?

i cant set the cookie because i want to know the host name

I think you should mention domain name instead of localhost.

.epizy.com in your case

Can you please share the code used for create cookie then only we can solve!

it didnt work this is the code
setcookie(‘TEST’, ‘cookie_value’, time() + (86400 * 30), “/”, “.epziy.com”, true, true);

Try like this

<?PHP
setcookie('test', 'lang-en', time() + 96400, '/', 'web-tec.epizy.com');  
print_r($_COOKIE)
?>

use proper and complete syntax:
setcookie(name, value, expire, path, domain, secure, httponly );
