Great job here. I really enjoyed what you had to say. Keep going because you definitely bring a new voice to this subject. Not many people would say what you’ve said and still make it interesting

@Steve: Thanks! I've adapted the function within the experimental section as an attempt at replicating a PHP language feature (along with $_GET()).

@Steve Thanks, your function worked for me--reads cookies set with this function.

Thanks for this.  Just a quickie for those wanting to do the reverse: i.e.  $myVar=$_COOKIE['somecookie'];

Here's a function to read a cookie set by PHP originally from here http://www.quirksmode.org/js/cookies.html but with a correction as PHP URI encodes cookies.
<pre><code>
function $_COOKIE(name) {
	var nameEQ = name + &quot;=&quot;;
	var ca = document.cookie.split(';');
	for(var i=0;i &lt; ca.length;i++) {
		var c = ca[i];
		while (c.charAt(0)==' ') c = c.substring(1,c.length);
		if (c.indexOf(nameEQ) == 0) return decodeURIComponent(c.substring(nameEQ.length,c.length).replace(/\+/g, '%20'));
	}
	return null;
}
</code></pre>
Usage:  $myVar=$_COOKIE('somecookie');  //NB the round brackets!

@ Brett Zamir: With so many lines shared, I've made setcookie depend on setrawcookie.

Here's setrawcookie() (just removed encodeURIComponent())...

<pre><code>
setrawcookie('author_name', 'Kevin van Zonneveld');
alert(document.cookie); // author_name=Kevin van Zonneveld
setcookie('author_name', 'Kevin van Zonneveld');
alert(document.cookie); // author_name=Kevin%20van%20Zonneveld

function setrawcookie(name, value, expires, path, domain, secure) {
    // http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net
    // *     example 1: setrawcookie('author_name', 'Kevin van Zonneveld');
    // *     returns 1: true 
    expires instanceof Date ? expires = expires.toGMTString() : typeof(expires) == 'number' &amp;amp;&amp;amp; (expires = (new Date(+(new Date) + expires * 1e3)).toGMTString());
    var r = [name + &amp;quot;=&amp;quot; + value], s, i;
    for(i in s = {expires: expires, path: path, domain: domain}){
        s[i] &amp;amp;&amp;amp; r.push(i + &amp;quot;=&amp;quot; + s[i]);
    }
    return secure &amp;amp;&amp;amp; r.push(&amp;quot;secure&amp;quot;), document.cookie = r.join(&amp;quot;;&amp;quot;), true;
}</code></pre>

The encodeURI function does not encode characters like &amp;amp; and = . I think encodeURIComponent should be used instead.

Usage of escape() is out-dated (isn't it?) and got some other problems (e.g. some UTF8 stuff). I think encodeURI() would be a better solution here.

However, thx for this project!

@ space_marine: I haven't tried that with Jonas' code so far. Can you share your findings?

Can this function set array cookies?

<pre><code>
&amp;lt;?php
// set the cookies
setcookie(&amp;quot;cookie[three]&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;cookiethree&amp;quot;);
setcookie(&amp;quot;cookie[two]&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;cookietwo&amp;quot;);
setcookie(&amp;quot;cookie[one]&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;cookieone&amp;quot;);

// after the page reloads, print them out
if (isset($_COOKIE['cookie'])) {
    foreach ($_COOKIE['cookie'] as $name =&amp;gt; $value) {
        echo &amp;quot;$name : $value &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;\n&amp;quot;;
    }
}
?&amp;gt;
</code></pre>

Output:

three : cookiethree
two : cookietwo
one : cookieone
