Ever wonder how websites are able to remember who you are? They remember your country, your language, and many other details? This is often-times the product of small text-files being stored on your computer, which contain information about you. Don’t worry, the information isn’t derived from secret dusty government computers - the information is usually from you, gathered through forms.

These text files are often referred to as “Cookies”. PHP gives you alot of freedom when it comes to cookies, too. You are able to give your viewers the ability to change the way your website looks. You are able to remember where your viewers are from, and what language they speak, and all of this can be done without setting up some elaborate database.

So join me now, and let’s jump into handling cookies with PHP.
